Bugs Matter is a national citizen science survey aiming to create a picture of insect decline in the UK by looking at the windscreen phenomenon. You may not remember this but there was once a time when our windscreens were covered in bug splats. Where have all the insects gone? And what could their demise mean for the rest of us!?


Rob Smith interviews Dr Lawrence Ball of Kent Wildlife Trust to find out more. There's still time to help out with Bugs Matter's 2024 survey season so make sure to download the app and get counting now!
