Butterflies and moths are sensitive indicators of the health of our environment. Find out how you can help them.
First sightings 2019
Here are 2019's earliest sightings of resident and common migrant butterflies, as reported to Butterfly Conservation. You can follow all the latest sightings live on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram too.
Moths Matter
Our ‘Moths Matter’ campaign will seek to wow people about the wonder of moths, to overturn moth myths and to showcase these beautiful insects in all their mothy glory.
Spotted a Painted Lady?
The Painted Lady is a long-distance migrant, which causes the most spectacular butterfly migrations observed in Britain and Ireland. If you have seen one, add your sighting to our 2019 map so we can track their migration across the UK.
