Lloyd of the Flies Wetland Bug Hunt at WWT London
Families in London can enjoy a brand-new Lloyd of the Flies Wetland Bug Hunt at WWT London this spring, as WWT partners with Bristol-based animation studio, Aardman and the Royal Entomological Society.
The Lloyd of the Flies Wetland Bug Hunt invites visitors to join an epic minibeast wetlands adventure that will give children an opportunity to dive into the wonderful world of insects. The activity is fronted by the well-known comedy character, housefly Lloyd, that features in Aardman’s children’s comedy series, Lloyd of the Flies.
Visitors can learn and have even more fun on their adventure by downloading Aardman’s augmented reality app: Lloyd of the Flies AR Bug Hunt. Available to download free from both the Google Play and App Store, the app lets explorers ‘shrink down’ to fly size and see the world through an insect’s eyes. It includes fun interactive activities like trying on insect antennae, rolling a maggot ball, and superimposing Lloyd’s face on each other.
Other family-friendly activities at WWT London include pond-dipping, minibeast hunting and other insect focused activities.
