Waterbugs at Tulip St Pond

Join Friends of Native Wildlife to discover the tiny critters in the Tulip St Pond next to Sandringham Family Leisure Centre.

Waterbugs, or fresh water invertebrates, are small animals found in healthy water. Many are the larval forms of insects we know well in their adult form, like dragonflies. Waterbugs are an important food source for frogs, fish and other animals. The range of waterbug species we find can give a clue about the health of the water: specific species are vulnerable to different types of pollution.

Children accompanied by an adult please.
