Butterfly Conservation are calling on people across the UK to take part in this year’s Big Butterfly Count that started yesterday and runs until 6th August to help scientists understand the impact of climate change on our most-loved butterflies. Last year’s record temperatures, heatwave and drought caused some of the plants that caterpillars feed on to wither and die. To help scientists discover what the ongoing impact of this extreme weather has been, the public are being asked to spend 15 minutes in any sunny spot and record the number and type of butterflies they see.
