Garden Safari: The Bug Five! | Back Garden Biology 9 with Dr Lindsay Turnbull
Channel: The Queen's College, Oxford
Date: 2020-05-17

Did you know that just five groups of insects dominate your garden? And can you tell the difference between bugs and beetles?

In this week's episode, meet the Bug Five and learn how to tell them apart, with beautiful drawings by Lindsay's former student, Pandora Dewan, and lots of new video clips. You are encouraged to select your own Bug Five, by choosing your favourite representative of each of the five groups and you can decide whether Lindsay's Bug Five are better or worse than those selected by entomologist Liam Crowley.

If you'd like to choose your own Bug Five, a worksheet is available to download from bit.ly/bugfive. And please do share your selections with us on social media using the hashtag #BackGardenBiology.

Dr Lindsay Turnbull is an Associate Professor and Fellow in Plant Sciences at The Queen's College, University of Oxford.
