Bugs Matter
Bugs Matter is back and we need your help! Your participation in this nature survey is vital for us to monitor population trends, address causes of insect loss, halt and reverse them. Make every journey count.
Search for the Scarce Yellow Sally
Help us record sightings of the Critically Endangered Scarce Yellow Sally (Isogenus nubecula) and other stoneflies along rivers in Wales from April to June.
Support Curtains for Light Pollution
Show your support to Nurture the Night Shift, pledge to close your curtains and blinds when you turn on your indoor lights, to keep the light inside and say Curtains for Light Pollution!
Middlewick Ranges
Help us defend the Middlewick Ranges from development. Known as the ‘Wonderful Wick’, the site is home to nearly 1,500 invertebrate species, including the Vulnerable Six-spotted Mouse-spider and the Endangered Necklace Beetle. We need your help to protect it!
B-Lines
Imagine trying to travel around Britain without our road and rail network. Or imagine if nine out of every ten miles of road just didn’t exist – life would be impossible!
Manifesto for Bugs
Last year saw a General Election take place in the United Kingdom. Prior to this we published our Manifesto for Bugs, setting out what our smallest and most numerous creatures need from our Government.

Blue Ground Beetle Hunt
Have you ever seen what you think might be a Blue Ground Beetle whilst out walking? If you have a photo of it, no matter how long ago it was taken, we’d love it if you could share it with us.
Don't Neglect the Night
Join Buglife in calling on governments to stop neglecting the night and embed the nocturnal environment in conservation plans.
50% of the time it is night, yet nearly no plans to protect nature recognise the nocturnal environment.
