An insect conservation charity has said "something has gone radically wrong" for bugs and invertebrate species after a noticeable reduction in their numbers.

Buglife, an organisation based in Peterborough, said there had been a decrease in pollinators, which had been noticed by residents and could be seen through a reduced number of elderflower berries.

Buglife said it feared that invertebrates faced an extinction crisis, and without them humans and other life forms could not survive.
