Butterfly Conservation has spent years working closely with farmers to restore and manage suitable habitats. Their latest autumn survey of caterpillar nests — silken webs formed by groups of larvae — shows dramatic increases at several sites. One location recorded 53 nests, up from 24 last year, while…

A government health panel has recommended against introducing prostate cancer screening for most men in the UK, saying the harms outweigh the benefits.
