Moths are also found during the night in the UK, during the summertime. Moths are nocturnal animals, which means that they are active during the night.
Moths are similar looking to butterflies, which is why I like to call these beautiful animals 'night butterflies'. These amazing insects can be found in our gardens.

Surprisingly, the UK has many different species of ladybirds. It is estimated that the UK has around 40 species of ladybirds. But, it's most likely you'll find one of the two most common ladybird species in your garden. The two most common ladybird species are - the seven-spotted ladybird and the two-spotted ladybird.
You are most likely to see the seven-spotted ladybird in your garden.
