Abstract The SPRING project supports the development of an EU Pollinator Monitoring Scheme. It comprises tasks on evaluating the potential of pollinator Citizen Science, development of butterfly monitoring schemes across the EU, piloting pan traps and transects methods for sampling pollinating insects in the field, evaluating the potential of malaise traps and light traps for sampling wider insect biodiversity and moths respectively. A provisional network of Butterfly Monitoring Schemes across the EU was completed during this project. This includes support for schemes in Lithuania, Greece, Romania, Latvia, Denmark and Slovakia mainly on the basis of trained volunteer observers, provision of identification guides and support for coordinators in each Member State. An update to the European Grassland Butterfly indicator was completed and shows a linear decline of 32% in the EU-27 and 36% in Europe from 1990-2020. All Butterfly Monitoring Schemes in Europe were supported by this project through provision of guidance and promotional material, including workshops to share experience and best practices between schemes. Technical tools to support butterfly monitoring communities (website and the ButterflyCount mobile application) were enhanced in response to user feedback, e.g. updates to species lists, improved reports and data downloads and translations. The tools support 36 Butterfly Monitoring Schemes in 30 countries including 27 EU Member States and has resulted in 9122 active butterfly transects (i.e. walked in the last two years) for the European continent. In total, around 10,000 volunteers have participated in the eBMS network, providing valuable butterfly monitoring data during all the monitoring years. We updated the Grassland Butterfly Index which was published by as an EEA SEBI 027 indicator, as well as in the EU Biodiversity Strategy Dashboard on the Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity website and Eurostat's 2024 SDG report.
