Beauty and the Beast in the trap this morning 😉 but just for you Ashleigh Whiffin I did not throw the beetle out and i-recorded as requested! 😜 #moths matter #moths #beetlebabe

Stunning morning up in the Highlands and finally my first B.monticola of the season foraging at 5:30am at 1C! Tough wee 🐝s and my absolute favourite!! ❤️ Bumblebee Conservation Trust The Buzz Club

Gorgeous Brindled Beauty this morning - very breezy last night but still 10 new for the garden this year. Great to finally have a mild night in the highlands - lots of bats out too 🦇 #moths matter #moths #garden Butterfly Conservation 🦋

North of Scotland Bee Walk number two of the season finally had some Bumblebees! 🐝 🤩 Buff-tail was looking rather exhausted, a short lift onto some dandelions soon sorted her out. Bumblebee Conservation Trust Dandelion Appreciation Society Brigit Strawbridge

Some lovely fresh moths in the trap this morning, with my favourite being the fabulous Yellow Horned,what a beauty. Also had a nice Early Grey (very dodgy photo though) Common Quacker, half a dozen Chestnuts and some micros. Not bad at all 😀 Butterfly Conservation 🦋 #MothsMatter #moths

Now is a great time to search for hibernating herald moths! By April they'll be out flying again & harder to spot👀

These are unmistakable moths - crumpled leaf-like wings with burnt orange patches & little white pinpricks that resemble mould spores. How cool is nature?!

It’s been a while….Lelly but today it just had to be done on route to the stunning East Coast! 🤩 #butterflies #plants #moths #coast #Scotland
