Wee winter project for my visit to the Island in May. Still a few holes to plug but getting there. Note the recently talked about Goats Toe.

Any additions? Comments gratefully received

I've done really well on Islay with Hedgehogs / Sedgehogs but that has been in July.  I'm pleased to note I can't see a Peter Ross.  You'll do well.

Ok you did ask. The big stuff 10s & a few 8s These custom made boxes from Wheatley but green coloured hold the small stuff.

Glad to see some Alexandrias in there, one of my favourite wets, and some Peter Ross' great flea!
A Parmachene Belle too... I'm impressed.  :)
Some nice winging, great to see "proper" wings!

God if it was that would really get "the Unbelievers" going.
It is a "body obscured" feather winged Royal Coachman. That section is a row of White Moths & Two Coachmen, some of my favourite night time summer flies.
