Butterfly & Moth Conservation Initiative Proposal
Activities - Creating the most suitable environment for butterflies & moths
Flower plantations
Food sources
Chrysalis sites
Resting sites
Regular maintenance of garden
Benefits
Wildlife
Easy food availability
Safe areas for sleep
No predators
Safe chrysalis sites
Main goal = Improve butterfly & moth populations
Raises awareness
Pollinators
Increased butterflies & moths = healthier ecosystems
People
Connect to nature
Community contributions
Connects people
Improves mental health
Possibly introducing new hobbies/interests
Volunteering activities
Planning
Location (UK)
Woodland
Mainly clearings
Time of year/Season
Spring
Summer
Date/s

Requirements
Identifying issue
Declining UK butterfly & moth populations
Research species requirements/natural needs
Awake times
Butterflies = generally diurnal
Moths = most nocturnal
Most seen in times of year
Spring through summer
March - October
Feeding times
Midday/Noon
Throughout daylight hours
Natural food
Butterflies = nectar from flowers
Moths = nectar from flowers, fruit & sap

Can be adult butterflies, but most are either caterpillars or chrysalis
Sleeping conditions
Butterflies = underside of leaves
Upside-down position
Moths = anywhere quiet, safe & sheltered
Social groupings

Communicate through chemical cues (pheromones)
Multiple species in area
Migration
Depends on species
Some stay close to area
Some migrate often
