You're more likely to see the attractive, brightly coloured caterpillars than the mullein moth itself.

The stately grass-of-parnassus displays pretty, white flowers with green stripes. Once widespread, it is now declining as its wetland habitats are disappearing.

These little critters are related to the woodlice you find in your garden and play a very important role on rocky shores.

One of the UK’s smallest and most delicate sea snails and an absolute favourite find for avid shell collectors when washed upon the shore empty!

The brown hare is known for its long, black-tipped ears and fast running - it can reach speeds of 45mph when evading predators.

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.
