- More than half of Britain’s butterfly species in decline, monitoring scheme shows
Over half of Britain's butterfly species have declined according to the world's largest insect monitoring scheme, which analyzed 44 million sightings since 1976. While some species have benefited from warmer weather, others reliant on specific habitats or plants have struggled, leading to reduced biodiversity despite 'Insectageddon' not occurring.
