Far too many things to list - UK has, at best only 80% of the animal species list of continental NW Europe, several ladybirds are missing to start with. A particularly attractive one is Oenopia conglobata: http://users.pandora.be/roeland.libe...img/oencon.jpg ...
and lots of spiders not found here ...
