Butterflies
In Highland and Moray there are 29 resident butterfly species and 4 regularly occurring migrants.
Some, which are in decline nationally, may still be found in Highland and Moray, for example the Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Dingy Skipper and Small Blue.
The Chequered Skipper, now extinct in England, occurs in a number of colonies in Western Inverness-shire. Anyone wishing to see this butterfly should visit Butterfly Conservation's Allt Mhuic reserve during the flight period, which usually begins in the second week of May and continues to the end of June. To find out more about Allt Mhuic and how to get there, please check out Butterfly Conservation's reserves web pages.
Other species, such as the Peacock, Orange Tip, Speckled Wood and Ringlet are expanding their northerly ranges.
Another more recent colonist is the Comma which, after slowly
expanding northwards along the Spey, has been seen in Spey Bay on
the Moray coast.
The extreme western and northern parts of the Highlands, the Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland share an oceanic climate and are, on average, the windiest in the UK, being fully exposed to the Atlantic and closest to the passage of areas of low pressure. Inevitably fewer butterfly species are resident there.
Interestingly, 2 new species have been added to the Western Isles list, namely the Speckled Wood which colonised the wooded Castle Grounds at Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, around 2004, and the Ringlet which was first recorded at South Glendale, South Uist in 2008, and has been seen at the same site in subsequent years.

Scottish Macro-moth List 2017
This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012,
2014 and 2015.

Provisional Highland Macro-moth List
The table below contains a provisional list of macro-moths found in Highland, arranged according to the families to which they belong. Species which have been given priority status under the
UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP) are indicated accordingly.
As the list contains over 400 species, you may find it more convenient to click on the family names rather than scroll down the page:
Hepialidae | Cossidae | Zygaenidae | Sesiidae | Lasiocampidae | Saturniidae | Endromidae | Drepanidae | Thyatiridae | Geometridae | Sphingidae | Notodontidae | Lymantriidae | Arctiidae | Nolidae | Noctuidae
