This summer, visit 1 of 20 Special Invertebrate Sites established through the @HeritageFundUK #ColdBloodedandSpineless project. These sites in the #NorthPenninesAONB support upland #HeritageTreasures like bilberry bumblebees and green tiger beetles northpennines.org.uk/what_we…

Our @HeritageFundUK #ColdbloodedandSpineless project celebrated the door snail, Clausilia dubia, as one of our rarest natural world #HeritageTreasures by working with @L_Stonework to build the world’s first Molluscarium at @VisitBowlees @HeritageFundNOR

The broken-belted bumblebee is one of our best-loved #HeritageTreasures. It is 1 of 9000+ invertebrates recorded by volunteers in our #ColdBloodedandSpineless project, funded by @HeritageFundUK. Photo @StevenFalk1 taken at Bells Grooves Special Invertebrate Site @HeritageFundNOR

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you guys in delivering bee ID workshops and has left me with a deep love of the North Pennines AONB. Thanks so much for all your support and good luck withe future plans. Hope I can get up there again soon.
With the CBS project at an end, we want to say a HUGE thank you to all our volunteers, & everyone who gave time to the project. Without you, we would never have achieved as much as we did in 5 years. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Happy invertebrate hunting! 🕷️🦋🐌🐞🐝
The wait is over! The Bumblebees of North East England is out now. A first of its kind, it provides an overview of the 22 #bumblebee species found here. This was only possible with the data submitted by you recorders. Well done everyone! bit.ly/36ZaBCc @NEE_Naturalist
It's the perfect time of year to think about how you can improve your garden, school grounds or any outdoor space to make it better for wildlife. Here are some great tips to get you started, looking at what to plant to support invertebrates: bbc.in/2P4NCja @NorthPennAONB

I was quite taken by this beautiful little Stigmella tityrella mine in a beech leaf this weekend. The 'green island' is caused by the caterpillar delaying senescence by manipulating cytokinin levels, probably with the assistance of symbiotic bacteria!
Join @AllenvalleyWild on Tues 12 Nov for an evening of water voles, with Kelly Hollings of @NorthWildlife. @WeardaleWild @NEE_Naturalist
To celebrate #Arachtober, here is a stunning walnut orb weaver! These are found at Baal Hill Special #Invertebrate Site (SIS), #Durham, just 1 of 20 SISs in the @NorthPennAONB. Watch this space for more information... @durhamwildlife #TurnFear2Fascination #lovespiders
This image of a four-banded #longhorn #beetle egg-laying was taken this summer on deadwood at Baal Hill Special #Invertebrate Site, managed by @durhamwildlife. We'll be sharing more information on these brilliant sites soon! @HeritageFundUK @HeritageFundNOR @NorthPennAONB
