Photograph of Beetle on a Leaf, early 20th Century (Inv. 31584). Do you think Freddie’s beetle was anything like this?
Name: Freddie
Age: 5
Occupation: School
Object: Beetle
Story: Yesterday in a bucket in the garden was a beetle. We thought it had a green grape in its moth. But we noticed the green was, we think, its head. We emptied the bucket and photographed it. We are going to send the picture to the Museum of Natural History.
Like Freddie, you can send your questions to museums which specialise in that area and they will try their best to answer!
