Butterflies are a much-loved feature of summer in many parts of the world. But how many of them are there on Earth?
That?s the question a young listener to More or Less wanted an answer to ? and she couldn?t find the answer no matter how hard she searched the internet.
Presenter Daniel Gordon enlists Professor Jane Hill, a butterfly expert at York University, England, who?s also President of the Royal Entomological Society, to try and help solve the mystery.
He also consults Holly Mynott, International Officer of Butterfly Conservation, who describes the techniques used to run The Big Butterfly Count in the UK ? the biggest event of its kind in the world.

Herman Andaya, Maui’s emergency chief decided not to sound sirens before the fires scorched Lahaina, which seems like an obvious mistake. But all the officials agreed, to do so would have been a contradiction of policy ... and perhaps a dangerous one. Andaya was pushed out anyway, though he was, to some extent, the author of his own fate. And how much was Barbenheimer Hollywood's salvation? We talk franchise movies and box office with John Campea. And superheroes aren't the only ones failing to deliver the goods. Superconductors—at least room temperature ones—remain works of fiction.
