Summer Wildlife
Insects Bundle
May and June are fantastic months for getting outside to explore nature. Almost every week brings something new to see, as the days get longer and the weather warms up. Our summer wildlife bundle features over 150 different insects for you to find this summer: in gardens, the countryside and woodland.
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?

Caterpillars guide
Butterflies have a four-stage life cycle: egg-caterpillar-pupa-adult butterflies. While the eggs are difficult to find, it is often much easier to find the caterpillars.
