What is a minibeast?

“Minibeast” is a name often given to small animals that don’t have bones inside their body. Instead, they have an exoskeleton (an outside skeleton).​

There are many different types of minibeasts and they are all around us; they can be butterflies, bees, wasps, ants, snails, spiders, beetles, centipedes and many, many more. In fact, there are more minibeasts on earth than any other animal!

Come along during Science Week and learn all about minibeasts with our hands-on incursion with Labcoat Learning.
