What’s On

First up, you’ll learn a little bit about entomophagy (eating insects) and the work of the charity ‘Bugs For Life’, cofounded by Thunderbolts & Lightening’s own Craig Macfarlane, with a community in Benin, West Africa. Then, it’s time to get creative and design and decorate your own bug farm ready for your very own insects – darkling beetle larvae, otherwise known as mealworms, an extremely popular edible insect. To finish, if you are feeling adventurous enough, you can try some mealworms for yourself in a tasty treat -yum!
Run in conjunction with Sligo Libraries – this event will be at Ballymote Community Library if you want your school involved! Email shealy@sligococo.ie
