Today we are shamelessly reposting from @wildkrattstv as we're heading off this afternoon for a glamping weekend! Anyway - as a bit of a tech-head, I do believe that not all screentime get in the way of kids connecting more with nature. For example, Wild Kratts is one of my son’s favourite #tvseries on @netflixuk - it’s an animated show based on real-life #zoologist brothers and teaches kids about #wildanimal species. 🐵⠀ Kids can learn about animal behaviour and habitats plus also about conservation and environmental issues. My son loves it and often brings up interesting facts & figures in conversation that he's learnt from watching. We'd totally recommend checking it out, especially as it gets 4/5 on #commonsensemedia. #tech #switchon #science #tv #parenting #nature #homeed #conservation #youngnaturalist ⠀ ...⠀ "WOW Fact Friday! 🙌⠀ ⠀ Praying mantises can be found all over the world. There are over 2,400 described species, but many more exist and are waiting to be discovered! They come in a variety of shapes and colours and are masters of blending into their surroundings. Some resemble the bark from a tree or petals on a flower, while others mimic dead leaves blowing in the wind!⠀ ⠀ One reason for their cryptic nature is that these predatory insects like to ambush their food. They will lie in wait for prey to venture within range. When they do, the mantid lunges forward and extends its raptorial arms, reinforced with muscles and sharp spines, in one speedy execution. Their warrior-like strike can happen in 30 to 50 one-thousandths of a second! That’s quicker than the blink of an eye!⠀ ⠀ Mantises are known for their lighting fast front legs, but they can also be statue-like too! Praying mantises can hold still for hours in order to avoid detection from predators like birds, spiders, and even other mantids!⠀ ⠀ #wildkratts #wowfact #prayingmantis #krattbrothers #chriskratt #martinkratt #animals #insects #creatureadventuring #animation #pbskids" https://www.instagram.com/p/CGHhW1JnlLf/?igshid=1j99s839poglr
