Thought I'd share a bit about me, Hayleigh - Owner of Insect City UK

Hayleigh is DBS checked, fully insured, and educated to MSc level in Forensic Science.

During her BSc (Hons) in Forensic Science, her love for
invertebrates flourished and her collection of invertebrate pets
grew - with the dream of working with these fascinating
creatures full-time. In the meantime, Hayleigh completed her
MSc in Forensic Science, where she conducted research in
both entomology and anthropology/archaeology, before
working at the University of Nottingham as a medical teaching
technician leading and teaching medical students in their
studies.

A while later, Hayleigh decided it was time to combine her
love of teaching, outreach, and invertebrates and turn it
into a full-time career, allowing her to work for herself around
her growing family. It is from here that Insect City UK was
born - a true passion project that is only possible thanks to the
support of people like you.

We spent our morning at The Secret Garden School in North Warwickshire on Tuesday.

We helped the students with their Animal Care BTEC assessments where we taught them how to correctly & safely handle a range of insects (and a red apple crab) which they then were recorded performing& assessed that same day.

We had the honour of watching them perform the safe handling techniques we provided them with as well as be given a tour of their beautiful school grounds and even get to meet some of the animals they kept on site.

Overall it was a fantastic morning and all the staff and students were wonderful to work with, so thank you again for having us 😊
