🐜Leafcutter ants celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday at the Tropical Butterfly House Wildlife Conservation Park! 🌿

In a truly unique and heartfelt tribute to celebrate the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough, hundreds of resident leafcutter ants at Tropical Butterfly House Wildlife Conservation Park are preparing for what may just be the most ‘ant-icipated’ event of the century - a charming miniature tea party!

Watch as the tiny celebrants march proudly along their winding “ant highway”, carrying miniature bunting crafted from trumpet-shaped leaves and colourful flower petals in honour of Sir David’s incredible milestone and lifelong dedication to the natural world.

But the celebrations don’t stop there! Visitors can also enjoy a weekend packed with remarkable nature talks, animal encounters, hands-on family activities and plenty of wildlife-themed fun for all ages.

Join in the celebrations on Friday 8 May and throughout this weekend! You wouldn’t want to miss it. 🦋
