Results for - Clueless about nature? 1 in 4 people don't know caterpillars turn into butterflies

Despite seeing all sorts of creatures every day at the park or in their backyard, it turns out most people don’t have a clue about nature! In fact, a recent OnePoll survey polled 2,000 British adults and found three in four felt more confident identifying pigeons than anything else in a garden. More than half (55%) could not distinguish between a moth and a butterfly. Moreover, a quarter had no idea a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly.
