Fascinated by insects?

Then you’ll love the Schleich Insects Discovery Set! Honeybees, blue morpho butterflies, grasshoppers and ladybirds – these four friends make quite the impression: thanks to their size, every detail of their wings, legs, and antennae stands out perfectly. And the best part? These critters absolutely love to be touched and admired, allowing their curious human friends to get to know them even better!

Master of camouflage

Grasshoppers are amazing camouflage artists. Their bodies are shaped and coloured just like leaves. If you look closely some textures on its body even look like leaves with “chew holes” in them to hide from hungry birds!

Butterfly trickster

Did you know that the beautiful, glowing wings of a blue morpho butterfly aren’t actually blue at all? Their wings are covered in tiny scales that bounce light to make them look bright blue to human eyes. Pretty cool!

Busy bees

To make just one jar of honey, a colony of honeybees has to fly a distance that’s equal to flying around the entire Earth! You can see where the phrase ‘busy bee’ comes from!

Sneaky defender

When a ladybug is scared, it doesn’t try to bite… it plays dead and oozes a smelly, yellow liquid from its legs to trick predators into thinking it tastes terrible. Clever little ladybug!
