Conservationists have celebrated breeding one of England's rarest insects in captivity for the first time.

The Species Recovery Trust led the project to successfully breed the endangered heath tiger beetle, external at a special artificial habitat at Sparsholt College, near Winchester.

The trust and college hope to eventually reintroduce the insects back into their heathland homes.
