Butterfly Conservation West Midlands Butterfly Conservation Saw what I presume is hummingbird hawk-moth flying around in our garage at work today, not the best footage on phone camera and he didn't hang around lol

Spotted a clouded yellow on the allotment today! 💛 Only the 2nd I've ever seen in the UK, and just a stones throw away from where I saw my first one 3 years ago!!

Terrible record shot on someone else's plot - I better grow some marigolds next year 😂

Moths are indicator species, which means their numbers tell our scientists if an ecosystem is doing well or badly. So, if you are not seeing any moths, have a look to see how you can improve habitat for them.
