Mad Tom’s Traps by Hedge-sparrow

Puzzle explanation

Discarding the letters of SUMMER FLOWERS (wild, ie scattered) from the clashes left those of LEPIDOPTERIST (rambling, ie scattered), formed real words for the grid entries. Then replacing the letters of MAD TOM’S TRAPS with those of BUTTERFLY NET changed 12 entries to types of butterfly or moth (shown below).
