THE Yorkshire Air Museum is marking National Insect Week.
Part of the Elvington site, which is on land included in the first study of British butterflies and moths in 1853, is being developed into the Nature Of Flight conservation area and educational resource with the help of the Environment Agency, Natural England and British Butterfly Conservation.
The museum is also holding a “Norman” Nimrod nose-art competition for children to design an insect-related piece of ‘nose-art’ to celebrate British insects.
