Having had to cancel my order with Amazon due to lack of stock I managed to get this book elsewhere. If you like your moths you'll love this book! It's absolutely packed with information about micro moths and includes photos of leaf miners, case bearers and all sorts with maps for each species distribution in the UK. The whole book (paperback) is about 4 times heavier than the Concise Guide to the Moths of Great Britain and Ireland making it less of a 'field guide' and more of a 'leave it on the desk and look later' guide. The drawings are as well done as with the book on macro moths but are obviously smaller even though most are drawn 2.5 times life-size. Recommended for micro-moth-ers everywhere.
EDIT - a word of caution when using the latin names in this book, apparently they have used the new classification names, not yet confirmed, so always check up on the existing name before thinking you might have something nobody recorded before!

I similarly had to cancel with Amazon and get this elsewhere after they instantly ran out of stock on the release date. Once I got my hands on it, I was not disappointed. There are many excellent websites where you can hunt down the micro-moths that come your way, but to have this reference book in your hands with everything under one cover where you can 'compare and contrast' each species is brilliant. The fact that Richard Lewington has done the illustrations is an added bonus and will remove possible areas of confusion usually caused by reference photos taken under different lighting conditions. Indispensible for anyone interested in Moths.

Eagerly awaited and hasn't disappointed this book has rejuvenated my 'mothing' sessions. Whereas previously I would tap the 'little jobs' out of the moth trap, setting them free without a second glance, now I look avidly for the tiny moths lurking last in the bottom! The layout of the illustrations means I am now getting a feel for moth 'families' and becoming at last accustomed to shapes and varieties which lead to a definite identification at the end of the night! A must have!
