Why not take part and help make a difference Take part by conducting a simple butterfly and day-flying moth count. All you have to do is pick a sunny mid-afternoon during Save Our Butterflies Week and make a count of the maximum numbers of each species of butterfly that are present on a Buddleia bush over a period of about 30 minutes. You should also include any day flying moths such as Silver-Y or Humming-bird Hawk-moths you see too.
