CLANCY, TOP-JENSEN & FIBIGER - MOTHS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. A FIELD GUIDE TO ALL THE MACROMOTHS

All species are shown in their natural resting position using 1200 photographs, thus enabling accurate determination in the field to species level of a vast majority of the British macromoths. A selection of photographs of distinctive larvae are also included. Furthermore all listed species have been shown as mounted specimens in their natural size on 60 colour plates in the back of the book, in order to allow direct size and structural comparison between species, and show salient features that are not visible in the natural resting posture. The species texts describe the diagnostic external characters, the possibilities for confusion, current flight times, larval foodplants, life-cycle strategy, up-to-date distribution and frequency summaries, and individual record details of the scarcer immigrant species
