A guide to common UK insect and other terrestrial invertebrate groups

This is a beginner's guide to the common groups of terrestrial invertebrates found in Britain. The guide is split into two sections, covering the insects and non-insect invertebrates separately.

On each page you will find:

an annotated photograph of common invertebrates within the group highlighting key characteristics
a simple colour coded illustration highlighting their key characteristics
notes on which groups could cause confusion
