About Us

Travelbugs Mobile Mini-beasts commenced operations in 2002 (over 18 years ago!) and is a fun, hands-on mobile education service that travels all over NSW, the ACT and beyond, educating people of all ages about the benefits and wonders of invertebrates or ‘mini-beasts’ (insects, spiders, snails, millipedes etc) within our environment. Every workshop or exhibition includes a hands-on mini-beast experience not to be forgotten! Live mini-beasts featured include a selection of large and colourful stick insects, cockroaches, grasshoppers, beetles, preying mantis, spiders, scorpions, snails, centipedes, millipedes and more. We also now offer live interactive butterfly experiences and BugZoom sessions LIVE from our Bug Lab. Edited Resin Embeds 004
