Pieridae (Whites)
Spain is home to a wide variety of Pierids, from the familiar 'Cabbage' Whites, to highly specialised mountain species such as the Peak White. In all, 23 species from this family are found here, including all British Pierids, which are widespread and common in Spain.
Pinnipeds
Pinnipeds are the seals and sea lions (and walruses in the Northern hemisphere).
Reptiles & Amphibians of Derbyshire
Derbyshire is home to four of Britain's six reptile species, although seeing them is often down to good luck. None of the reptiles has a county-wide distribution, although they can be locally common.
Reptiles of Dorset & Hampshire
The heaths of eastern Dorset & western Hampshire are the only place where you can hope to see all six British reptiles in a single day. That said, some are not easily seen at all, even in the correct habitats.
Reptiles of the Eyre Peninsula

Skippers & Hairstreaks
The Skippers are the most unusual of Britain's butterflies as far as appearance goes - they look more like moths than butterflies. There are eight species in Britain, and found are found in Derbyshire. The Hairstreaks are elusive butterflies, named for the fine-lined markings on their underwings. There are five species in Britain, of which three can be seen here in Derbyshire.
Snakes of Arizona
Arizona can boast 54 species of snake - the most for any state in the US. It is most famous for the rattlesnakes, of which there are 13 species in Arizona. Less well known are the remaining 41 species of snake, many of which are small, harmless nocturnal desert dwellers which few people are lucky enough to ever see.
Snakes of Spain
Spain has an interesting snake fauna of 13 species, including several endemics. As is typical with snakes, even though they are widespread in Spain, they are not easily seen, and coming across one invariably involves being in the right place at the right time!
Snakes of Victoria
There's only one snake in this section so far, but hopefully I will have the chance to add to it in the future.
