Ruud is a renowned entomologist and naturalist. Over two days at school, Ruud shared his passion, knowledge, and expertise with students and staff, igniting their curiosity. His unique blend of enthusiasm and humour inspired the students as they explored and mapped the school environment as part of the Bio Blitz, finding all sorts of creepy crawlies.
