Top 5 things to look<br />

for this summer...<br />

Summer is the best time of year to hunt for<br />

bugs, beetles and minibeasts! When you’re in<br />

your garden or out and about exploring, make<br />

sure you look out for these top 5 things:<br />

Butterflies Small tortoiseshells, red admirals,<br />

peacocks, and painted ladies: these are just a few<br />

of the 71 species of butterfly in the UK.<br />

Moths Some moths fly during<br />

the day and can be as colourful as<br />

butterflies. Look for the hovering flight<br />

of a hummingbird hawk-moth.<br />

Ladybirds Have you noticed<br />

that not all ladybirds have the same<br />

number of spots? Count how many<br />

spots you can spot.<br />

Bumblebees Buzz, buzz, buzz.<br />

See how long you can follow a bumblebee’s<br />

journey from flower to flower.<br />

Dragons<br />

Well, dragonflies!<br />

These colourful insects<br />

look like flying jewels<br />

whizzing around ponds<br />

and wetlands.<br />
