Observations at Lytes cary, in Somerset, showed the number of bumblebees had fallen by 85% on the previous year as wildflowers that attract bees were outgrown by grass. At Purbeck, in Dorset, meadow butterflies also saw a drop in their numbers. According the record of volunteers of that area, number of white marbled butterflies fell by 73% and blue butterflies by 23%. Though bumblebees and butterflies are small at size but their contribution is very much needed to maintain the ecological balance. So we should individually take steps to save them from extinction by planting more flower plants.
