There are several species of cucumber spider, recognised by their bright green abdomen.

This large green moth rests with its wings spread, so is sometimes mistaken for a butterfly.

This metallic green beetle can be seen visiting flowers on sunny days in spring and summer.

Sea lettuce is unmistakeable - most often a bright green and always translucent, it is found on all UK coasts.

The bright green ring-necked parakeet is an escapee and our only naturalised parrot; its success is likely due to warmer winters.

Beautiful demoiselles are, well, beautiful! Often confused for a dragonfly, these giants of the damselfly world are hard to miss with their metallic blue and green colours.

The stately grass-of-parnassus displays pretty, white flowers with green stripes. Once widespread, it is now declining as its wetland habitats are disappearing.

The marsh hair moss is the largest moss in the UK. Look out for it in damp woodland and on boggy heathlands where it forms large, green and spikey 'cushions'.

An uncommon tree of wet woodlands, riverbanks and heathlands, alder buckthorn displays pale green flowers in spring, and red berries that turn purple in autumn.

This large anemone is found on rocky shores around the UK and is so called because its green spots and red body means it looks like a strawberry!

Look for the wood warbler singing from the canopy of oak woodlands in the north and west of the UK. Green above, it has a distinctive, bright yellow throat and eyestripe.
