金龟子（Noble Chafer ）
A beautiful metallic green beetle, related and similar to the Rose Chafer, most likely to be seen on warm summer days on the flowers of various umbellifers. It occurs in old orchards and open woodland where the larvae live for up to two years, in the decaying branches, mainly of old fruit trees. Due to the removal of old orchards, it has declined seriously and is now found only in parts of central and western England and the New Forest. Vulnerable 复片

赤足拟蜾蠃（Purbeck Mason Wasp）
This small, attractive wasp is now restricted to just 7 heathland sites in Dorset, which are fortunately all in, or close to, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). The female makes her nest in a hole below ground, which she provisions with Tortricoid moth caterpillars for her larvae to feed on. Areas of bare clay soil amongst the heather, where the wasp can burrow, are essential for breeding, and the management of suitable sites is now being undertaken to prevent the shading-out of suitable heathland.
