Education is at the core of all we do at Minibeast Wildlife. We aim to inspire people and foster an appreciation for invertebrates and the critical roles they play in our world. Over many years we have developed a great range of targeted resources which you will find here.

We have developed Australia’s most comprehensive spider identification assistant and field guide for mobile devices. Spidentify is a multi-layered tool with something for everyone. It's useful for the novice worried about spiders in the home, through to seasoned zoologists looking for additional information on species. Spidentify has more species specific info than any current field guide and it is updated to include even more! Check out this award-winning app.
Want to teach your kids about insects? Do you need some engaging resources for the classroom? Let us help you with that. We have designed posters, colouring sheets, games and even a book for young children to develop their appreciation for minibeasts. We started our fascination with bugs as kids and we hope to inspire others to follow us!
Watch our mini documentaries, live videos, educational sessions, unboxing and much more. In long or short content formats, we showcase the various species in our collection, highlighting their appearance, life-cycle and behaviours. We also demonstrate how to care for various invertebrates in captivity – very useful if you are considering keeping these fascinating animals.
