What is a minibeast?
'Minibeast' is a general term for the huge number of bugs and smaller creatures we share the world with.
These include insects, which always have six legs and antenna - bees, butterflies and beetles, for example. According to the , humans have discovered over one million species of insect so far, but some think there could be as many as 10 million!
As well as insects, common minibeasts could be arachnids, like spiders, crustaceans, like woodlice, or molluscs, like snails.
What they have in common is that they are all invertebrates, which means that they don't have a backbone like us. It's why you probably wouldn't call a dormouse or wren a minibeast, even though they're tiny!
