This year's #BigButterflyCount results show it was a very good summer for many of our widespread butterfly species. But how will the extreme heat and drought impact next year's populations? ☀️🦋
Dr Dan Hoare, Director of Nature Recovery, breaks down the results.

Our #OnePlanet team enjoyed the #BigButterflyCount 🦋 at Bute Park! We spotted and recorded butterflies, contributing to a vital citizen science survey. Every butterfly counted helps us understand these important pollinators in the UK.

A beautiful day to start counting these lovely creatures #BigButterflyCount
#bigbutterflycount today was:
9 Gatekeepers, 3 Meadow Browns, 2 Common Blues, 1 Peacock, 1 Red Admiral, 1 Large White and 1 Small Skipper (Which they do not count.)
Gatekeepers used to be rare for us, and, though they have now become regular, this year is exceptional. No Speckled Woods is odd.

I've done Butterfly Conservation's #BigButterflyCount for several years, despite recording every week for another project, but this is the first time I've seen nothing. However, can anyone of you #lepidopterists identify this, seen a few weeks ago? #lepidoptera #butterflies

Have you signed up for the 2026 #BigButterflyCount yet?
I did my first count yesterday... and it was SUCH fun. Gatekeepers, Meadow Browns and Silver Y moths so abundant I could barely keep up!

With the #BigButterflyCount well underway, keep your eyes open when spotting differences between species 👀
Tiny white dots on the underside of the hindwing mean you've spotted a Gatekeeper - there are none on Meadow Brown!
