Dundreggan moth traps
The Buff Ermine (Spilarctia luteum) is a moth from the family Erebidae. The forewings are a yellowish-buff to whitish-buff colour. The number and size of the black dots on the wings vary but a distinctive diagonal row of elongated spots running from the forewing tip to trailing edge can distinguish it from the White Ermine. Photo taken by David Palmar as part of a moth trapping session at the Scottish Entomologists' Gathering in Dundreggan.
