Product Description
Product Description
A comprehensive new field guide to the bird-dropping Tortrix moths of Great Britain and Ireland.
Written by Jon Clifton and Jim Wheeler, this guide shows classic examples of bird-dropping mimics, such as the Apotomis, Hedya and Epinotia and some of the cryptic black and white cochylids.
The moths are shown in their resting position, alongside a set specimen, with a brief account giving distinguishing features and use of coloured pointers to highlight the critical areas in a user friendly way. Maps show Vice-county distribution across the British Isles, alongside seasonal flight graphs and life size representations of each species, to aid identification.

Format:Paperback
An excellent little book, gives clear photos of each moth from the side and with wings open, also gives a size guide and a pictorial guide to counties where each species has been recorded, flight times, foodplants and a paragraph or two on each species giving more in-depth details. A little bit on the expensive side but it's appealing to a minority market so understandable really. Nice lightweight book to carry round, would recommend to any moth-er, pro or amateur.
