[edit] NATURAL HISTORY OF MOTHS
This text uses many examples from the moth faunas of Britain and Europe to explore the breeding, feeding, distribution and life history and ecology of moths as well as the more specialized aspects of their behaviour.
The Natural History of Moths unites the results of amateur study with the latest scientific research to paint a broad picture of all aspects of moth biology and ecology. The book uses many fascinating examples from the moth faunas of Britain and Europe to shed light on what is largely a neglected group. The breeding, feeding, distribution and life-history ecology of moths are described as well as the more specialized aspects of their behaviour. Moths are often as beautiful as butterflies and, with over 800 British species alone, they are more numerous, more diverse, and occupy a far wider variety of habitats and lifestyles. Yet for most naturalists they remain a little known and neglected group. The Natural History of Moths unites the results of amateur study with the latest scientific research to paint a broad picture of all aspects of moth biology and ecology. The breeding, feeding, distribution, and life-history ecology of moths are described as well as the more specialized aspects of their behaviour. Their interactions with host plants, their anti-predator responses, and the threats arising from the degradation of natural habitats are all explored in this beautifully illustrated text. Features: * The first book since 1955 covering the Natural History of Moth ecology/biology * Stunning colour photo section features 'photo-essays' on features of moth behaviour/ecology
