A very rare species, this moth is now limited to one site in the UK. Males can be a striking reddish buff in colour.

This large, fluffy-looking moth is on the wing in July and August, but you might spot a caterpillar at almost any time of year.

The common pipistrelle is so small, it can fit into a matchbox! Despite its size, it can easily eat 3,000 insects a night: look for it flitting around the garden or a lit lamp post as it chases…

One of the UK’s rarest marine species, this giant of the rocky shore is a very special fish.

This beautiful butterfly is one of our rarest, now mostly restricted to the western parts of the UK.

This striking black-and-white moth flies during the day in open woodlands, moorlands, and bogs. It's most common on Scottish moors.

This snowy white moth is easily mistaken for the similar brown-tail, until it lifts its abdomen to reveal a burst of golden-yellow.

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