This dataset contains northern silver stiletto fly records gathered as part of the Rare Invertebrates in the Cairngorms Project. The Rare Invertebrates in the Cairngorms (RIC) project will work to improve the conservation fortunes of some of the Cairngorm National Parkís (CNPA) rarest species by recruiting local volunteers to help survey for them, as well as offering advice to landowners on how best to manage habitats for their needs. RIC is a partnership project involving RSPB Scotland, the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA), Buglife Scotland, Butterfly Conservation Scotland and NatureScot.
