The Broad-bodied chaser is a common dragonfly that can be seen in summer around ponds and lakes, and even in gardens. It lives up to its name: its flattened body gives it a fat, broad look.

This is a predominantly subtidal species but can be found on the lowest parts of a sheltered rocky shore in summer.

These feisty crustaceans are the ‘Houdinis’ of the rocky shore, evading capture as soon as disturbed!

One of our largest and most impressive solitary wasps, the bee wolf digs a nest in sandy spots and hunts honey bees.

Honeybees are famous for the honey they produce! These easily recognisable little bees are hard workers, living in large hives made of wax honeycombs.
