Our appeal comes as many of the UK's declining insect populations enter into hibernation for the winter.
Piles of autumn leaves, especially under hedgerows, provide excellent hibernating spots for some of the country's best loved bugs, including ladybirds, bumblebees and beetles, who rely on finding safe havens to avoid the winter cold.
Habitat loss is believed to have contributed to the sharp decline in insect numbers across the UK, reported to have decreased by up to 60% in some areas.
