TOMORROW will be your last chance to get involved in recording insects for Cumbria Wildlife Trust.
The final ‘Record the Buzz’ one-day event will take place on Friday and will be focusing on pollinating insects.
The trust are asking you take a photo of any insects you find that day feeding on flowers, and to upload pictures onto the iNaturalist app.
There will be a team of experts on hand to verify recordings between 9.30am-4.30pm.
Lucy Graham, project officer for the Get Cumbria Buzzing project said: “We all know bees are great pollinators, but so are many species of moth, butterfly, hoverfly, fly and beetle.
"Sadly our pollinating insects are in trouble - their numbers have fallen dramatically. The valuable information from this one-day survey will help inform us on the best ways to support pollinating insects across the county.”
