Invertebrates

Latest observations of Invertebrates

The term "Invertebrates" covers a very broad group, including insects, worms, molluscs, arachnids, and many others, that tends to get lumped together under the heading 'bugs' or 'mini-beasts'. The vast majority of all animal species are invertebrates, and estimates of the number of species in the UK range up to 30,000 or more.

Within this huge number of species there are animals that specialise in almost every conceivable habitat, and their life-cycles are correspondingly varied.
