The sallow-shoot piercer moth was spotted at the Cathkin Marsh wildlife reserve near Glasgow.
A species of moth has been recorded in Scotland for the first time in an "exciting discovery".
Bill Higgins, who first spotted the moth, initially was unable to identify the insect by consulting books and websites, but the mystery was solved when he reached moth expert Dr Mark Young through an online forum. "I was delighted when Mark agreed with my identification and confirmed that I had the privilege of being the first to record the moth on this side of the border.
Billy Gray, the Scottish Wildlife Trust's west central reserves manager, said: "Bill's exciting discovery shows there is lots we don't know about Scotland's wildlife.
