Bush Blitz

Team Bush Blitz had a blast sharing our love for tiny critters at this year's World Science Festival Brisbane.

Kids loved learning how to classify Pokemon and insects playing our name game and even got up close to some real life Pokemon - the Goliath stick insect! We even had a visit from nature warrior Ranger Stacey herself!

Thanks to the crew and local entomologist Dr Nicole Gunter from for helping out and speaking to so many young scientists in the making!
