This weekend we celebrate the World Biodiversity Day, which runs on May 22nd. On Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of May, we will be able to welcome the new “hosts” of the Insect’s Home to better know their amazing adaptation ability. We will find out more about a pair of African dry leaf mantis, the beautiful Philippine leaf insects and the extraordinary yellow and black ants of South Africa. It’s the breeding season for insects, so it will also be an opportunity to observe development cycles and survival strategies. On Sunday, however, there is space for two special events: Saltimbiker, an acrobatic show on bicycles, combining the technique of bmx freestyle, juggling and street arts, and a special meeting with biologist and naturalistic designer Elia Nalini to see how many cute and colorful insects come to life on canvas. In order to celebrate the value of biodiversity, children’s workshops and insects and plants are planned in the Children’s Workshop
