The Vestal. This delicate little moth is a regular migrant to southern Britain, sometimes breeding in stubble fields during hot summers. It is scarcer northwards and not annual in our area, but a few reach Shetland on southerly winds. #creditRLeverton #teammoth @savebutterflies

Broom Moth.The striking colours and pattern of the Broom Moth caterpillar probably combine elements of disruptive and warning camouflage, as sometimes feeds quite openly by day. Whether it is indeed unpalatable is unclear. #creditRLeverton #teammoth @savebutterflies

Completed a report on #elm and #DED for FC in 2016, which supported temperatures influencing the spread, as well as timber movements - looking into refuges in the Highlands to protect and monitor isolated elm populations #forestry #landscape bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-scotla…

Scottish Members' Day @savebutterflies @BC_Scotland brought out Commas in the sun, a Merveille du Jour from the night before and lots of keen admirers. Ideal weather for the occasion!

Canary-shouldered Thorn. This moth can be distinguished from related species by its bright yellow thoracic fur, contrasting with the duller wings. Like many other autumn species it is camouflaged like turning leaves. #creditRLeverton #teammoth @savebutterflies

Lowland raised bogs and upland blanket bog are home to many species, including the Large Heath butterfly. Work by our Bog Squad has restored sites across Scotland, with help of partner organisations and landowners. #WorldWetlandsDay butrfli.es/_BogSquad Photo by Iain Leach
