If you happen to be near rocky places such as sea cliffs, shingle coastlines or even gravel paths during the summer months you will most likely come across sea campion.

The brown hairstreak is an elusive butterfly that spends much of its time in the treetops feeding on aphid honeydew.

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

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.

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

This worm builds its own home out of bits of shell and sand. It can be spotted on the shore all around the UK.
