Overview  

The Bugs Matter citizen science survey uses an innovative method for large-scale indiscriminate monitoring of flying insect populations. Citizen scientists record the number of insect splats on their vehicle number plates following a journey, having first removed any residual insects from previous journeys. Data collection is via the Bugs Matter app, launched in 2021. It provides an efficient, standardised and scalable approach to monitor trends in insect abundance across local, regional and global scales.
