hey punk... say hello to the caterpillar of the vapourer moth - a wee beastie with an interesting life cycle. The males fly in the day and the females are flightless. Freed from weight limitations associated with flight, females can grown to a length of 18mm. Female caterpillars feed for longer than males and grow to larger sizes. Not so good if you are a gardener though... #ardnamurchan #wildaboutardnamurchan #lochaber #wildlochaber #wildaboutlochaber #wildscotland #myoutdoorcapital #vapourermothcaterpillar #vapourermoth #rustytussockmothcaterpillar #ukmoths

A great day butterfly bagging, and day flying moth spotting as well. We’ve seen these transparent burnet moths over the past few years way out west, and so happy to see them again yesterday in the sun on the machair. #ardnamurchan #wildaboutardnamurchan #lochaber #wildlochaber #wildaboutlochaber #wildscotland #bbcspringwatch #butterflyconservation #transparentburnet #burnetmoth #myoutdoorcapital #westhighlandpeninsulas #visitscotland
