This sponge is found on rocky shores around the UK and looks like a thick bready crust (if you use your imagination a bit!).
These moths can be seen flying on sunny days, but you're more likely to spot the fuzzy caterpillars crawling over paths.

Look out for this tiny crab under rocks and boulders on rocky shores - you'll have to look closely though, they're pretty well camouflaged!
Have you ever stopped to look at the shape of a spider web? Garden spiders spin a spiral shaped web, perfect for catching lots of juicy prey!
The Leisler's bat flies fast and high near the treetops, but you might also spot it flying around lamp posts, looking for insects attracted to the light.
