Homes for Unsung Heroes on tour.

After the Splore Festival, Barbara from EcoMatters in Auckland kindly helped get the insect homes back to EcoMatters, who are going to use the insect homes for various events including the upcoming EcoWest Festival as well as some going to local libraries in Auckland.

Unsung Heroes - in praise of small things

"The tiny creatures of the undergrowth were the first creatures of any kind to colonise the land. They established the foundations of the land's ecosystem (and) were able to transcend the limitations of their small size by bonding together in huge communities of millions. If we, and the rest of the back-boned animals were to disappear overnight, the rest of the world would get on pretty well. But if the invertebrates were to disappear the land's ecosystem would collapse. Wherever we go on land, these small creatures are within a few inches of our feet - often disregarded. We would do well to remember them"
