Description

Magic Eyes of Masoala highlights Madagascar as a jewel of nature, known for its isolated location that has led to the development of unique flora and fauna. This includes an amazing variety of butterflies and, especially, moths. For the first time, these moths are systematically presented in detail with over 1,000 photos.

All the animals displayed were photographed alive, having been captured at night by Armin Dett using a light trap before being released. In cooperation with leading collections and scientists, they were identified and assigned, and their genus families characterised and described.

The book not only inspires awe with nature's amazing creativity through stunning photos but also serves as an identification guide and a valuable research tool. Moreover, it is an important record of current times, as climate change and habitat destruction due to clearing and population growth threaten this natural paradise in the Indian Ocean.
