THE ENTOMOLOGY COLLECTION OF NATIONAL Museums Scotland is held at the National Museum of Scotland's Collections Centre in Edinburgh. Ecologist Katty Baird works as a volunteer with the British Lepidoptera collection, documenting the number of different specimens onto a database. "This helps the museum know what material they have and where it is housed in the collections centre," she says. "This makes it much easier for researchers to find the butterflies and moths they are looking for." Katty also documents the details of some specimens when and where they were caught and adds these to the National Moth Recording Scheme.
