It combines stunning photographs, clear and authoritative text and an easy-to-use design to increase your knowledge and enjoyment of these intriguing and often colourful insects. Like butterflies, some moths fly regularly in sunshine, whereas others that usually fly at night are readily disturbed from their resting places during the day. This guide describes all of these species and features at least one photograph of each in its natural, resting pose. A brief description of each moth covers the key identification features and when and where to look for it, and includes information on its status, life history, special features and caterpillar food plants. Other sections explain how to distinguish moths from butterflies, and also provide essential information on biology, classification, habitats, gardening for moths, conservation and legislation and recording and monitoring.</p><ul><li>Individual accounts for 158 species and photos of 28 others<br></li><li>More than 320 stunning photos, with every moth shown as you see it<br></li><li>Beautifully designed, easy to use and clearly written<br></li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A must have on the bookshelf or in a backpack!<b>---Jim Almond, <i>Shropshire Birder blog</i></b><br><br>By focussing on this selected group of moths over the entire group, numbering over 2,500 species, the book is accessible for the enthusiastic naturalist who hasn't made the leap to the expensive world of moth-trapping.<b>---Rob Jaques, <i>British Trust for Ornithology</i></b><br><br>It is a perfect and fitting intrduction to the world of moths, is beautifully produced with exceptional photographs, packed with solid information and advice and recommended for anyone contemplating to further their interest in our Lepidoptera.<b>---John Phillips, <i>British Journal of Entomology and Natural History</i></b><br><br>You will almost certainly want to own it.<b>---Anthony P.
