There is also a private Facebook group Highland Moths & Butterflies which enables people to share photos, ask each other for help with identification and generally chat about moths and butterflies.

Butterfly Conservation relies on the support of thousands of volunteers, and we are always looking for more help inside the office and out in the field.

Your time can make a real difference.
