I speak for the bugs, for the bugs have no tongues...
Thank you to everyone who participated in Bugs Matter in 2024.

As we continue to gather data our understanding of the health of our insect populations grows; please get involved in Bugs Matter in 2025 - the survey runs from May - September & this year is extended to the Republic of Ireland.

Human activities continue to have a huge impact on nature, habitat loss and damage, pesticide use, pollution, and climate change all contribute to the decline in insects. Society must heed the warning signs of ecological collapse, and take urgent action to restore nature.

The consequences are potentially far-reaching, not only impacting the health of the natural world, but affecting so many of the essential services that nature provides for us.

Where to look? Damp woodlands with lots of moss-covered old trees and deadwood- what some people now call "Atlantic rainforest". Known hotspots in Devon and Cornwall are woodlands in the south of Dartmoor, and east of Bodmin Moor. Old records from the Tamar Valley- would be great to find it there!
