Moths

The authors are experienced lepidopterists, who are both curators of moths and butterflies at the Natural History Museum in London, and so it is no surprise that they provide an authoritative and wide-ranging account. Every page includes details and examples of the extraordinarily diverse and unlikely life of moths.' Atropos; 'This is by far the best book on Lepidotera that I have had the pleasure to read during a lifetime's study on entomology. Superbly researched, superbly written. Each sentence is beautifully crafted, jam-packed with fascinating detail.' British Journal of Entomology»
