What is flying and crawling around?
A fascinating excursion to the varied world of insects
There has to be a system. Especially with more than million species of insects. Biology divides them into more than 30 groups. Who belongs to who and how can we recognise them?
This tour has been designed in cooperation with Natur- und Geopark Vulkaneifel GmbH
We fill the scientific system with vivid life on our excursion through the Mosenberg and Horngraben nature conservation areas. No previous knowledge is required; just a keen eye. You are sure to quickly discover the jewel among insects - the dragonfly. Thanks to its filigree frame and the fascinating acrobatics through the air, this species deserves special attention. Some grasshoppers or types of beetle are more difficult to track down. There won't be lack of "practice objects" for identification as the various Vulkaneifel biotopes are home to infinite species of insects. Our nature guide's repertoire includes everything about the habitat needs of each animal and how the habitat can be protected and maintained. Follow your guide into the world of insects and into the beauty of the Vulkaneifel.
