Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa, commonly known as the European mole cricket is widespread in Europe and has been introduced to the eastern United States.

The third meaning of jardinière, in French, is a name for the golden ground beetle, the European mole cricket and other species of beetles attacking plants in kitchen gardens.

Several species of sundew are found, as well as many unusual insect species, including the Southern damselfly (Coenagrion mercuriale), and the mole cricket (Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa), both rare in Britain.
