The Bugs Matter survey determined bug splats on number plates have fallen by 67% since the app was launched in 2021. Conservationists describe the outlook for Kent as “seriously concerning” but acknowledge that more data is required to determine long-term trends Bug splats declined 13% from 2023 to 2024, following sharper drops of 51% in 2023 and 27% in 2022. This shows the rate of decline has slowed and it may even flatten or reverse next year.
