The 2026 season begins! We're re-opening from February 14th - 22nd for Half Term and are then open at weekends during March. Loads to see and do for adult visitors and families alike.

๐ฉ๐ฅด ๐ธ Lucky and I just did a radio interview on BBC Radio Wales and the best bit was that SHE DID HER FIRST POO (in her water bowl) when we were live! So exciting - not only is she eating, but it's going through too. Much relief all round!

Best Bug Farm (native) 'bugs' of 2025. #insects #spiders #thebugfarm #macro
๐ฆ Exciting new species record for our land at Penweathers recorded by our Year in Research student Freya...a striped hawk moth. This is a scarce immigrant species from southern Europe and northern Africa. #thebugfarm #moths #mothing #mothtrap
๐ฆ What a beauty! Clouded yellow butterfly on the Farm Trail today - the first we have seen for years โค๏ธ. These butterflies migrate here from North Africa and southern Europe. Look at those lime green eyes and pink legs! #butterfly #butterflycount #bling #thebugfarm

Another cracking lot of comments on our nature action board in the Nature Recovery Centre! One in particular made us laugh!

Male jungle nymph and, as you can see, he looks a whole lot different from his greener gal pals.

Day...week...year made! We have a nest of barn owl chicks! We are over the moon. These three chicks have been weighed (they're really heavy for their age) and ringed by ecologist Paddy Jenks.
What a glorious picture of the whole family together.

The comical lackey moth caterpillars have left their communal larval webs and are busy ambling across The Bug Farm at the moment. With their dishevelled appearance, they all look like they had a big night out on the tiles! #badhairday #caterpillar #thebugfarm

A lovely, poignant day showing Myfanwy and Ifor Lloyd, from the Derwen Stud, Myfanwy's Farm History Museum (or part of it) in its new home here in our new Nature Recovery Centre. #NatureNetworks #NatureReserve #NatureRecovery #farming #Museum #FarmingMuseum #history #TheBugFarm
The jungle nymphs have been busy laying eggs today! Come and see these enormous insects in our Tropical Bug Zoo this weekend. Open from 10:30am-4:30pm each day. Book your tickets at: www.thebugfarm.co.uk/product/entr...

How big was the mole?!

Don't forget to take time to observe our native invertebrates when you visit. This little carabid (ground beetle) - Poecilus cupreus - was wandering around between the picnic benches on our courtyard, busy hunting for other invertebrates.

Digging! The oil beetles are out and about at The Bug Farm! Keep your eyes open for them on the paths...not sure that digging your burrow on a well-trodden path (used as a racetrack by a blind dog) is the most sensible evolutionary strategy! #mindyourstep #beetles #oilbeetles #TheBugFarm
Busiest 2 days of the year by a long way - thank you to all you lovely visitors for being fab and thanks to our amazing team for going from quiet to busy in the space of a day. #FabTeam #TheBugFarm #seasonal #EasterHolidays #Wales #Pembrokeshire #StDavids

The yellow rattle seedlings are starting to push their way towards the sun! It's glorious seeing the meadows start to come alive.
