Many countries eat insects as part of their diet. Deep fried crickets are a popular snack in Thailand, while ant soup is a warming treat in China. Insects are a very sustainable source of food and may become more widely eaten in the future.

  • The colour and appearance of minibeasts are key to their survival. Many minibeasts have very good camouflage, blending them into their environment so that they can hide from predators or creep up on prey. Other minibeasts, like the monarch butterfly, have bright colours to warn predators that they are either poisonous or might taste disgusting.
  • Most minibeasts tend to use their senses of smell, touch and taste to experience the world around them, rather than their sight or hearing. They use features such as antennae, small hairs or taste receptors to do this.

    Some eat much stranger things – for example, some beetles and ants eat wood, worms eat dead stuff in the soil, and dung beetles eat animal poo! That might seem a bit yuk but these creatures do a great job of recycling and improving the quality of the soil so plants can grow.

The scientific term for them is ‘invertebrates’ – a creature without a backbone. Because they don’t have a backbone, minibeasts tend to have other structures which support and protect them. Snails have shells, while many insects and spiders have an ‘exoskeleton’, which is a hard casing on their outside. There are over 25,000 minibeast species in Britain.
