A FOUR-YEAR project has recorded more than 20,000 butterflies of 28 species in the heart of London.

The scheme also recorded more than 1,200 moths of 150 species in parks, allotments, graveyards and community gardens.

National charity Butterfly Conservation, which launched the Big City Butterflies initiative in 2021, says the results show that wildlife can thrive in towns and cities with the right management and the support of local communities.
