There are concerns about the decline in insects.
I have signed up to Bugs Matter to help gather data.
Bugs Matter have produced an app and website.
Before making an essential journey, clean your front number plate. At the end of your journey, place the splatometer over the middle of your front number plate and count the number of squashed flies and other dead bugs you can see through the holes- zero splats still count! Remember to take a photo with the splatometer in place too. Then crucially – submit your count and photo using the app to record the information.
The survey runs from 1st June to 31st August when insects are most active and abundant.
