Saving the small things that run the planet
Bugs Matter: Count the Splats!
We need your help measuring insect splats on vehicle number plates. This important citizen science survey helps us to build a picture of insect abundance across the UK, Republic of Ireland and France.
What happens if the night is no more?

Veterinary Medicines
The pesticides used in tick and flea treatments are bad for freshwater bugs, disrupting food webs and ecosystem functions, with potential knock-on effects for fish and birds. To protect freshwater life, Buglife is urging the Government to act fast.
The Blue Halo Garden
Buglife was delighted to sponsor the ‘Blue Halo Garden’ at the RHS Badminton this year. Designed by Natalya Scott and Lucie Dannemann-Scott, it demonstrated how plants use signals to attract pollinators.
