Spring Wildlife
Insects Bundle
Finally the spring is coming! As the days lengthen and the mercury rises, March and April are great months for getting out into the countryside. Our spring wildlife bundle features over 100 different insects for you to find in the next few weeks.
Bees guide
Did you know that there are over 250 species of bees in Britain and Ireland? As well as the ‘Big Six’ bumblebees, the WildID Bees Guide includes mining bees, cavity-nesting bees and cuckoo bees
- Identification guide to 28 species of bees in gardens in Britain and Ireland

Butterflies guide
Making a butterfly list is a great first step into wildlife identification. Some are easy to identify. But for others you might need to take a closer look. Is that a Small White or a Large White eating your cabbages? Is that a Common Blue or a Holly Blue fluttering along the hedge?
- Designed for speedy butterfly identification, with beautiful colour life-size paintings of each butterfly by Richard Lewington
- Similar-looking butterflies are close to each other for easy comparison
Longhorn beetles guide
Longhorn beetles are one of Britain’s most spectacular families of insects, all with distinctively long antennae. Adult beetles are attracted to spring blossom, especially hawthorn, so flower-rich hedgerows are a great place to look.

- Colour paintings by Richard Lewington show the key markings and body shape of each species
WildID guides measure 25 x 18 cm when folded up and are lightweight enough to pop into your bag when heading outside. All guides are laminated to protect against moisture and mud, and are easy to wipe clean.
