All this mild weather is making me start to think about spring. I have a daffodil flowering in the garden and I watched Brown Hares boxing in the fields today. I have to keep pinching myself that it is still only January and a real Artic chill could sweep in on us at anytime. There is however a good reason to be looking ahead - National Insect Week! www.nationalinsectweek.co.uk It is organised by the Royal Entomological Society www.royensoc.co.uk and a whole host of partner organisations. The website is just bursting with information. There are simply loads of surveys you, your school and your family can get involved with. Hundreds of events being listed up and down the country, excellent educational resources you can download, a photography competition, a writing competition and a great deal more. National Insect Week is all about celebrating our Great British Insects and encouraging you to get involved. Get out there, discover what really is living in your back garden, playground or local park. As soon as those evenings start to draw out, the sun starts warm the ground and as the first Swallow arrives, its time to discover more about the insect world in all its fascinating diversity! Be a part of National Insect Week 2012!
