Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is Buglife and what does it do?

Buglife is a charity that works to protect invertebrates and the places they live. It supports conservation, raises awareness, and encourages practical action to help bugs and other small wildlife.

Why are invertebrates important to the environment?

Invertebrates pollinate plants, recycle nutrients, improve soil, and provide food for birds, mammals, and fish. Healthy bug populations help ecosystems stay balanced and productive.

How can I help insects and other bugs at home?

You can help by planting nectar-rich flowers, leaving some wild areas, avoiding harmful chemicals, providing water, and creating shelter like log piles or insect hotels in a safe spot.
