Summary

It’s a wiggly, squirmy episode of News Time today – we’ll hear about a creative environmentalist using fly larvae, or maggots, to make a positive difference. Plus, we’ll go island hopping to spot a special stick insect with a surprising nickname. And I’d say you should pack your sunscreen for our intergalactic Wow of the Week, but where we’re going? That wouldn’t help much… Quiz Questions 1.What do Shane and Charli feed their fly larvae? 2.Can you name one of the nicknames for the Lord Howe island stick insect? 3.What do the dancers with disability say you need to be able to do, to learn and grow? 4.Which two sports have been combined to create Squalleyball? 5.What would it smell like on the lava planet? Answers 1.Food waste from local businesses. 2.They’re tree lobsters, or walking sausages. 3.Fail. 4.Squash and Volleyball 5.Rotten eggs!
