Butterfly Conservation is teaming up with Marks and Spencer to launch the biggest ever public butterfly and moth count to date. You can join in and help us track butterflies and moths, so we know where they need our help the most. Find a sunny spot in your garden, local park or other open space and spend 15 minutes counting butterflies and moths. For more information, to download an ID chart and submit your sightings please visit the big butterfly count website.

East Midlands Region Distribution Maps.

Distribution maps are now available as pdf files for some butterflies on the species pages. These are based on five years data submitted to local recorders, using recording forms distributed in the EMBC Spring newsletters. A copy of the form can also be downloaded here, please note the change of address for the Nottinghamshire recorder.
