Volunteers counted moths on White Cliffs of Dover, created new habitat and even found new moth populations.

A three-year citizen science experiment encouraging the people of Kent to love and care for local moths has been hailed a huge success.

Leading wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation launched Kent's Magnificent Moths in 2021, capitalising on the fact that East Kent is home to the greatest concentration of rare and threatened moth species in the UK, including the fluffy white Marsh Mallow, the elegant Sussex Emerald and the wasp-mimicking Fiery Clearwing.
