As some of the most beautiful and instantly recognisable insects, the UK's butterflies and moths are both a delight and challenge when it comes to seeing and identifying them. Focusing on general identification techniques, this course will give you an introduction to both common and rarer species found in the UK.
During the course, you will explore some of the ecology of UK butterflies and moths, including their habitat preferences and destinations you should visit in Avon to find them. You will also learn how you can take action for nature in your own garden and local area to help these amazing insects thrive!
