School group interest in the microscopes at the TFNC display. 

 

People were encouraged to lift up these papier-maché rocks to find the bottles containing live invertebrates. 

 

Children enjoyed lifting rocks to find photographs of invertebrates that typically live beneath them. They were also fascinated by the spiders set in blocks of resin (courtesy Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery).
