Colour

The boys had some homework and it's a minibeast behaviour investigation. Hypothesise, theorise, colour in - and then my favourite bit - sit down in the sunshine for 20 minutes. Lovely.

The objective was to find out which colour insects prefer. To land on I mean, not for their lounge wall. For lounge walls it's got to be dead salmon, mouse's back or clunch http://www.farrow-ball.com/colours/paint/fcp-category/list



The little critters didn't disappoint. The bugs were well behaved too. Within seconds of setting up our experiment we had creepy crawly visitors landing on our colour spots.

Orange was the run-away winner... or should that be Charlotte's Locks?
