As part of our brand new Dragonfly Festival, we launched our first Insect Photography Competition, inviting visitors to discover the beauty and detail of the insect world through a lens.
The competition featured two categories, adult and junior, and we saw plenty of impressive submissions from delicate dragonflies to busy bees.
Take a look at our winners and runners-up of each category:

Congratulations to our winners and a huge thank you to everyone who took part. Your photos have captured the wonder of insects in truly inspiring ways.
All of our winners, runner-ups, and shortlisted entries will be on display from 6 September until the end of September in our Exhibition Hall.
