Meet the Minibeasts

We share our planet with many fascinating creatures. Do you know what a Minibeast is? Mini means small, so that’s a helpful clue. Bugs and insects are often known as creepy-crawlies or beasts! Put them together and you have Minibeasts, the name for almost 98% of the Earth’s animals. Scientists study Minibeasts and record information about them, so we can learn about the creatures we share the Earth with.
