Aardman presents Lloyd of the Flies Wetland Bug Hunt

Dive into the wonderful world of wetland insects, with Lloyd and his friend Dart, the dragonfly. 

In April, Lloyd and friends will join the incredible cast of wetland minibeasts.  Follow the trail to help Lloyd and tour guide Dart the dragonfly find Lloyd's friends and family and make their way to the bug hotel.  Use the Lloyd of the Flies AR Bug Hunt augmented reality trail app, produced by Aardman to shrink down to fly size and see the world through insects' eyes.
