1) What and how do spiders see?

The proposed game will be to draw the disposition of the eyes in the various specimens of spider according to the evolutionary character proper to the species

2) Pollinators and biodiversity

The world of pollinators includes not only bees, but a whole series of other insects that together help us to understand the delicate balance of our ecosystems that survive thanks to biodiversity. Let's learn about the Osmias or solitary bees with a house built in the house to put on the terrace.

3) Alien insects: Vespa samurai against Asian bug

It will be illustrated how the oophagous parasitization on Asian bug eggs works to contain its population

4) Mimicry of stick insects: an ecological adaptation

Vision of display cases with exotic live insects and entomological boxes.

5) Game of sexual dimorphism

A “memory” game is proposed with pairs of insects with different sexual morphologies.

In addition, exotic live insects will be present: Asian bed bug, stick insect, Blatted blate and orchid mantis
