Citizen Science Month launch marks start of biggest ever survey season – now including France for the first time!

The UK’s popular insect citizen science survey is back – bigger, earlier and bolder than ever. Bugs Matter the bug-splat-counting survey, organised by Buglife and Kent Wildlife Trust, launches on Wednesday 1 April and runs through to Wednesday 30 September. That’s a full month earlier than previous years, timed to coincide with Citizen Science Month and to capture precious early-season data.

In 2026 Bugs Matter continues its international journey. For the first time, the survey expands into France – joining the UK and the Republic of Ireland in what is becoming a cross-continental effort to understand the health of our flying insect populations. Because, as nature knows and we’re learning, biodiversity knows no borders.
