Description

Mossy greens, conker browns, cream, chocolate, and deepest black; add stripes, swirls, and splotches and you have some of the most striking wildlife Britain has to offer.

In Meetings with Moths, ecologist Katty Baird roams Scotland seeking out, documenting, and observing moths. Green Longhorns, Pimpinel Pugs, and Peacock Moths are just some of the species that catch her attention as she climbs into holes, ventures behind waterfalls, and wanders forests with her boundless curiosity.

But you needn’t travel far and wide to see beautiful moths. Katty shows that you can easily enjoy discovering moths and caterpillars without specialist knowledge by creating your own light trap or simply looking more closely at your immediate landscape.

Meetings with Moths is a story about green health and the power of a passion to sustain us.
