Small Skipper and Camberwell
Beauty in SW Scotland in 2006
A new species for Scotland does
not come along everyday! A single Small Skipper was sighted by Dr.
Stewart Graham at Gall Moss (NY027814) on 3rd August 2006. This is a
species to look out for in coming years.
Also, a Camberwell Beauty was
found by Anna Price, at Picketlaw Reservoir on 25th July. This is a
migrant butterfly and rarely ventures into Scotland.
