National Insect Week with HEXBUG
This week was National Insect Week and when we were asked if we’d like to help celebrate it by racing our very own HexBug ants I knew we couldn’t say no.
With the assistance of my Other Half, Meg and Eli set to work creating their track. Meg designed the start and finishing posts and they worked together using coloured bricks to lay out the track.
UK entrants only please. The giveaway will end on Friday 25 July.
