UK - looking for ant related events.

Hello!

My son, who will turn 11 in January is absolutely besotted with Ants and has been for about 2 years.

He has three small colonies, all of which are Lasius Niger. Two of the queens he caught himself at the last nuptial flight this year.

Now, I know kids can be flippant about their interests, but he tells
me he wants to be a myrmecologist!

For his birthday, he has asked if he could go to a bug or ideally any related day out / experience. I came across Antcon 2023 in Carmarthen, but unfortunately its sold out.

Could anyone recommend any event I could take him to?

Thanks in advance.

Jon

I'm not sure of any events. But, if he ever needs help with one of his colonies, I would be willing to help!
