Do you remember a time when a car journey meant lots of squashed insects on the windscreen? Not anymore, as the number of British insects has plummeted since the 1960s Animals like the shrill carder bee once common in Britain are now endangered. Climate change is helping to reduce the number of UK bugs, including spiders, bees, snails, and spiders. The number of butterflies has plummeted to a record low. Thirteen bee species have gone extinct in the UK, with more threatened with extinction.
