The green credentials of Wimbledon youngsters were put under the microscope by a top nature expert from the Natural History Museum.
Dr Adrian Rundle ran a mini-beast safari where a group of eight to 14 year olds searched for millipedes, centipedes and woodlice under leaf litter and fallen wood in Wimbledon Common.
They then studied the invertebrates, creatures without a backbone, under microscopes at the Information Centre on the common.
The event was organised by the Wimbledon Common Nature Club which is running another similar day of activities for young people at 10am on Sunday, April 6.
