Pearls & Glories: A Guided Butterfly and Moth Walk

A guided walk to search for some of the special butterflies and moths of the Cairngorms and Deeside, a stronghold area for a number of nationally rare species. Depending on weather and seasonal variation, these could include Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Kentish Glory, Large Red-belted Clearwing, Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth and Netted Mountain Moth, which all have particular habitat requirements. Learn how to identify them (including Kentish Glory eggs and caterpillars) and find out about surveys you can get involved with to contribute to their conservation.This event is part of the Cairngorms Nature Festival which runs from 12 – 21 May 2023. It’s a ten day festival with over 80 exciting events across the Cairngorms National Park celebrating the incredible landscapes and nature found here.
