Buzzing bugs and budding entomologists
It wasn’t just bugs and moths buzzing around the light on Ōtari’s Troup Lawn on April 25. Budding young entomologists were also buzzing on the first night of the City Nature Challenge 2025. They stayed incredibly focused, and found heaps of bugs for the grown-up entomologists, William Brockelsby and Shaun Thompson to identify. More than 60 parents, grandparents, kids and other keen beans joined the search for bugs, moths, spiders, weta, glowworms and much more - as Wellington vies for the global city with the most native species identified on iNaturalist in one weekend.
