The Big Butterfly Count 2026 is a UK citizen science survey running 17 July to 9 August that asks participants to spend 15 minutes counting butterflies and submit sightings via an app or web form. Posts today show participants reporting species and id practice, sharing ideas to get children outside, and giving quick how-to reminders for the count. Gallery-style examples include sighting lists that mention Gatekeeper, Small White, and Burnet moths, a note that Grayling was not on one ID list, and playful invented names like Gypsy Spasm alongside genuine sightings. Look for posts with 15-minute count tips, children’s nature-activity suggestions, and local reports from first counts of the season.
