Eden Project. The ladybird and queen bee.

The ladybird is pushed out from under the flowerpot by a thin wire that is connected, via a bell crank, to the first lever. When she reaches a certain point, another wire pulls up the leaf that she is holding.
The queen be is attached to the next lever  by a curved brass wire. As the lever lifts, the bees is pushed out from behind the leaves of the plant.
