116 days to go to Insect Week
Butterfly Conservation’s mission is to save butterflies and moths, and thus our environment. It has raised awareness of the extent of declines of many species of butterflies and moths, and has created widespread acceptance of the need for action to combat these declines. It has a network of several thousand volunteers co-ordinated by its local branches.
Chitin is the major molecule in insect cuticles, combined with proteins it hardens surfaces like beetle wing covers.
