These beloved spiny mammals come out at night to hoover up beetles, worms and other invertebrates.

If you spot a crawling shell next time you're at the seaside, take a closer look… it might be a hermit crab!

One of the earliest moths to emerge each year, spending the winter as a pupa and flying from March to May.

These bulky beetles can sometimes be found on flowers in woodland rides or along hedgerows.

This stunning hermit crab has only returned to our southern shores in recent years. Let us hope it stays for good this time!

Violet ground beetles are active predators, coming out at night to hunt slugs and other invertebrates in gardens, woodlands and meadows.

These moths can be seen flying on sunny days, but you're more likely to spot the fuzzy caterpillars crawling over paths.

The white-letter hairstreak gets its name from the white lines that form a 'W' shape on its underside. It is an elusive butterfly, spending much of its time in the treetops.

The common prawn is a familiar sight to anyone who has spent time exploring rockpools - particularly their characteristic quick dart into the darkness just as you spot them!

With their beautiful striped tentacles, it's easy to see where dahlia anemones got their floral name from. Look out for them next time you're rockpooling!
