The Big Butterfly Count is a UK-wide survey aimed at helping the Butterfly Conservation charity assess the health of our environment simply by counting the amount and type of butterflies (and some day-flying moths) we see.
Download their handy butterfly ID chart or free app for iOS and Android to identify and record the butterflies you spot.
Between Friday 15th July and Sunday 7th August choose a place to spot butterflies and moths. Watch for 15 minutes. Then record which species you see.
Add your counts here on the website or via the app and look at their fascinating interactive map to see how your data is contributing to conservation science and research.
