UK Invertebrate Links
Gordon's Entomological
Home Page: quaint site but with absolutely everything about insects and
- yes, oh joy! - spiders and other assorted arthropods too.
The Bumblebee Conservation
Trust
Natural History Museum's
Distribution and decline of British bumble bees: definitive stuff.
Discover the Bumble Bee
Bumblebees: the Bumblebee page, mainly
about Scottish bumblebees but of interest throughout the UK.
What's This Caterpillar?
a fun, easy to use, and well informed site - look here if you want to know,
say, what this caterpillar is.
Spider Catcher: we have one of these,
and we use it regularly. The Ranger's fingers are too big and clumsy for poor
little spiders, and this thing is great for catching them and safely removing
them from the house. Recommended.
A rather odd page
on earthworms: but really good nonetheless, if a little defensive. You get
the feeling that this chap didn't really want to tell us all this fascinating
stuff, but just couldn't help it.
UK Moths
British Leaf Mining Fauna: leaf miners
are fascinating invertebrates that leave characteristic 'trails' on leaves.
You can learn about them and see a gallery of mines here.
Ground beetle recording:
also includes ladybirds and insects in the garden and he London and Essex Ladybird
Survey and key.
InsectLine: the original insect information
service - says them. So far as we know, it's true, and in any case worth a visit.
Atropos: a British journal devoted exclusively
to butterflies, moths and dragonflies. Includes National Moth Night feature.
Moths and Butterflies of Europe: with stacks
of photographs.
Captain's European Butterfly Guide
Spiders of NW
Europe: very comprehensive and loads of photos.
Glow worms: a page of
good information about glow worms: What is a glow worm? Where can I find a glow
worm? That sort of thing.
Entomology: Cheshire
Macro-moths and Sawflies (Symphyta): interesting stuff even if you are not in
Cheshire.
Terrestrial
Molluscs: in the UK and beyond.
