Marvin the millipede and Hiccup the giant snail were among creepy crawlies wowing children at Shipley Library.

The youngsters also had the chance to marvel at cockroaches, tarantulas and a snake at an animal handling workshop run by ZooLab.

Louise Morris, an educational presenter for the company, said: “It’s about raising awareness of animals they wouldn’t normally see. They are animals people are often creeped out by, so it was a chance for the children to learn about them and how to feed and look after them.”
