Fungi and slime moulds
266 photos The Fungi Kingdom is of their own, more closer related to animals than plants! They lead a double life, one above ground with light and air, the other below ground, dark with water and minerals. Slime moulds are now considered to form a separate kingdom from fungi but as we have few examples thus far, for the moment they are staying in the fungi folder. These Galleries contain hundreds of incredible images.

Insects / Moths / Micro-moths
113 photos 178 photos in 3 sub-albums Micro-moths are a somewhat arbitrary division of Lepidoptera. Obviously they tend to be the smaller species but that is not always the case. Many of them are tricky to identify - not least because the individual species can be very variable. Some can only be identified with confidence by dissection of the genitalia - and a few are not certain even then. If you notice any mis-identifications, please leave a comment!

Plants
250 photos 99 photos in 2 sub-albums Europe contains many different types of habitat. Artic tundra, alp meadows and mountain peaks, lowland heath, fresh water lakes and ever increasingly, urban areas, are just some of those habitats making up the European landscape. Plants, in all their sizes and colours have been able to exploit all of these landscapes.
