A marvellously illustrated guide to the world's moths.

With more than 160,000 named species, moths are a familiar sight to most of us. They flicker around lights, pollinate wildflowers in meadows and gardens, and can sometimes be unwelcome visitors to our woollens. Moths come in a variety of colours, from earthy greens and browns to gorgeous patterns of infinite variety. They range in size from enormous atlas moths to tiny leaf-mining moths. Moths of the World is an essential guide to this astonishing group of insects, highlighting their remarkable diversity, miraculous metamorphoses, marvellous caterpillars, and much more.
