4.0 out of 5 stars Barry Goater's Pyralid Moths, 16 Nov 2000
For anyone who is relatively new to moths (and like me has thus far concentrated on the 'macros') this book makes an excellent first purchase when venturing into the world of the 'micros'. The text is clear and well laid out and the photographs give excellent quality images of the whole group. I feel that compared to 'Skinner' (which handles the 'macros' excellently) it is not as good in terms of value for money (Goater describes 208 species and Skinner approximately 850) but this is really the only work of it's kind. The value for money aspect is the only reason in my opinion that the book receives 4 and not 5 stars.

For those wishing to become more involved, there is adequate reference to identification from genitalia examination where appropriate and the confusing issue of what is and what is not a 'micro' is also addressed.

Overall an excellent book and well worth buying.
