Citizen science
Over three years we received over 10,000 records for our Flying Ant Survey, which helped researchers investigate why ants appear to take flight at exactly the same time every summer. In the summer of 2015 we used pictures and information from social media to create a video of flying ant appearances across the UK. #flyingantsurvey
The Starling Survey 2014-16 has now closed. Thank you for taking part. Your sighting data is currently being analysed to find out more about murmurations! Our House Spider Survey is now closed but you can still find out more about the spiders in your home using our identification app: Spider in da house.
