Trapped six consecutive nights while staying on the north coast of the Ross of Mull between Bunnessan and Pennyghael using a 125W MV over a Skinner box. The first five species shown here were all new to me. I recorded a total of 51 species in all. I saw very few dayflying moths; just singles of Silver Y and Common Heath.
Light Knot-grass Acronicta menyanthidis scotica
Satyr Pug Eupithecia satyrata callunaria
Monopis weaverella
Ancylis geminana
Opsibotys fuscalis
Clouded Buff Diacrisia sannio
True Lover's Knot Lycophotia porphyrea
Scalloped Hazel Odontopera bidentata
The Shears Hada plebeja
Glaucous Shears Papestra biren
Foxglove Pug Eupithecia pulchellata hebudium
