There will be daytime field visits to a variety of habitats to observe butterflies such as the Scotch Argus and moths such as the Cherron and Northern Spinach.
Overnight mercury vapour lights will be running in the extensive wooded grounds at Kindrogan to attract a good range of Highland speciality moths. It is hoped to see Cousin German, Plain Clay and Angle Striped Sallow.
