Butterfly Count

A Butterfly Count is a structured event where people observe and record the number and types of butterflies they see in a specific area within a set time frame, usually over a day or a weekend. The goal is to gather data on butterfly populations, which helps scientists and conservationists understand trends, health of ecosystems, and species diversity. Participants often use guides to identify different butterfly species and may submit their findings to databases. These counts contribute valuable information for monitoring butterfly populations and supporting efforts to protect their habitats.
