The world’s insect populations are quietly disappearing,
but you can help them.
WHAT WE KNOW

“A whole insect world might be quietly going missing, a loss of abundance that could alter the planet in unknowable ways.”
Anchor 1

THE NUMBERS
~9%
average decline of
terrestrial insect abundance,
per decade
Science
1/4
40%
of insect species
are threatened with
extinction
Science Direct
"It doesn’t mean that every kind of insect is affected in
the same way. Several recent studies have shown that
some species are able to prosper while their close
relatives die out."
WEF
"Knowing where and why certain species are struggling is as important as trying to fix it. Insects are in trouble, but each bug faces its own battle. Support for our arthropod friends will need to be carefully targeted."
What we really need is more reliable data from more places.
BUT IT'S COMPLICATED

THIS IS WHERE WE COME IN
We believe that the key to understanding insect populations, is to monitor their behaviour in real time, in more places across the globe.
That's why we're creating a range of
open-source smart insect monitors that connect to an online platform, providing a reliable research tool for scientists and amateur enthusiasts alike.

Insect Monitors

HOW IT WORKS

Low-cost internet-enabled devices that can be used to monitor insects and the micro-climates in which they are found. Data from these devices is logged to a globally accessible database.
