London is home to a surprising diversity of butterflies and moths. Over thirty of the UK's 59 butterfly species can be spotted in the capital. Big City Butterflies is an exciting new Butterfly Conservation project which will inspire Londoners to discover butterflies and moths, and connect them with nature and their local green spaces.
