Late summer is the best time to discover one of the UK’s chunkiest caterpillars, the elephant hawk-moth.
This large, fluffy-looking moth is on the wing in July and August, but you might spot a caterpillar at almost any time of year.
This striking black-and-white moth flies during the day in open woodlands, moorlands, and bogs. It's most common on Scottish moors.
Found almost everywhere, the large yellow underwing is a night-flying moth that is often attracted to lights. It is brown with orangey-yellow hindwings.
This snowy white moth is easily mistaken for the similar brown-tail, until it lifts its abdomen to reveal a burst of golden-yellow.
