Guided tour: relationships between animal and plant | Gentse Feesten 2026

Discover the fascinating world of symbiosis, parasitism, and predation in nature. During this walk, we will dive into the complex relationships between plants and animals: from the ancient bond between mulberry and silkworm to the hidden life of bacteria in Psychotria. We will discover how beetles, invisible to us, infest trees from the inside out, and how other insects defend and assist their hosts. Each relationship tells a story of dependency, mutual benefit, or even conflict. Let yourself be carried away on this captivating journey full of hidden interactions that make nature so diverse and wonderful!
