BRITISH MOTHS: A FIELD GUIDE TO THE COMMON MOTHS OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND. By James Lowen. A Gateway Guide.

2021 1st UK edition. 8vo (152 x 217mm). Pp224. Colour photographs of moths throughout, bibliography. Ring-bound laminated card covers.

This is "a wonderful introduction to the most common and eye-catching adult moths regularly encountered in the British Isles. Rather than being grouped in taxonomic order, species are organised by season, and similar-looking moths are placed alongside one another for ease of identification. Concise species accounts include information on key features, making it easy to distinguish between con fusion species, and when and where to see them; each account is also placed alongside photos that have been carefully selected to aid identification, with clearly-marked top tips."
