The number of four species of butterfly in Devon were at their lowest for at least a decade in 2024, new figures show.

Butterfly Conservation said the number of silver-washed fritillary, dark green fritillary, wood white and small heath were lower than at any time in the past 10 years.

The numbers come from the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS) and Butterflies for the New Millennium (BNM).
