SUMMARY:Bug Safari at Dowth National Park
DESCRIPTION:Grab a net\, or just pack your curiosity\, and join Brian Murray and NPWS for a Family Bug Safari at Dowth National Park. On every flower and beneath every leaf\, log and blade of grass lives a hidden world of beetles\, bees\, spiders\, springtails\, hoverflies and more — the tiny creatures that quietly keep our gardens\, parks and coastlines ticking. Together we’ll go hunting (gently!) for the miniature wildlife and discover why protecting invertebrates is one of the most powerful things any of us can do for biodiversity. Suitable for all ages\, no experience needed — just bring comfy shoes\, weather-appropriate clothing\, and a willingness to get a little bit muddy or messy. Prepare to never look at a “creepy-crawly” the same way again. \nThis is an outdoor event so please dress for the weather and wear comfortable footwear\, Please bring hats\, sunscreen and insect repellent. \nPlaces are limited so please book your place through the event link. \nGoogle maps link https://maps.app.goo.gl/tL7X5qcPLx1GQSPr6 \nBio \nBrian Murray is an Irish invertebrate naturalist based in Co. Wicklow\, and the founder of microWild\, a native wildflower and biodiversity project. He has collaborated with Trinity College Dublin\, the National Museum of Ireland and the NBDC on recording and identification work\, contributed new species records to Irish citizen science\, and is the organiser of Invertopia — Ireland’s first invertebrate biodiversity festival. Brian is passionate about getting families outdoors and showing people of all ages that you don’t need to travel far to find truly astonishing wildlife; most of it is already happening right under our feet.
