Welly’s range of habitats means that we have a great variety of insects, including several UK BAP (Biodiversity Action Plan) priority species. Probably the most obvious are our abundant dragonflies and damselflies, thanks to our lakes and ponds, and the many species of bumblebee and solitary bee that are attracted to our heather, lavender and wildflower areas. We have a large number of butterfly species, and we run moth traps throughout the year, recording and releasing our catches. We also have lots of other wonderful insect species.
