I have just returned from a very interesting trip to Scotland visiting upper Tayside and Ardnamurchan. I managed to run a trap on a few nights and found a couple of larva and would appreciate some help with a micro and two larvae please. Pics are linked here. The micro was trapped on a wooded hillside in Glen Lyon and had a forewing of about 8mm. Both larvae were in coastal moorland habitat near Ardnamurchan Point. If I remember rightly the first is about 30mm long and the second perhaps 50mm or more.

I will post a report and some pics of the many moths recorded shortly. Thanks very much.
