Crawling around in the gardens of Otonga Rd Primary School you may find cockroaches, weta, worms, and you'll definitely find children looking for them.
The school is in the process of creating a critter city; a place for bugs to live and pupils to explore.
Teacher Angela Donlon said it came about when a new garden was installed and the pupils would rifle through it looking for bugs. So she decided to create a designated area for them.
"Children needed a place to find bugs and it was meeting a need for those kids who were wanting to find them."
Critter city contains a worm farm, composting unit and stacks of bricks for the bugs to hide in.
