Derby Bioblitz, Sun 6 June
Dig into the world of earthworms in Derby! 
Did you know there are 27 species of earthworms in Britain? Or that earthworms breathe through their skin? How about that they eat their own weight in food each day?
Come and join us on a fantastic FREE day out for all the family and go on earthworm hunting expedition. Get your hands dirty and dig away, learning how to identify the different species. Meet experts from the Earthworm Society of Britain (ESB) at the Derby Bioblitz on Sunday 6 June and ask all your burning earthworm questions! ESB event includes handling, identification and exploration of soil biodiversity.
Fame fact: The ESB recently featured in episode 1 of the Natural History Museum's TV Series 'Museum of Life' and Emma Sherlock, ESB President, recently discovered a new species of blue worm whilst researching in Nicaragua!
