Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland VOL 1 HARDBACK

Volume 1 contains seven Introductory chapters by authoritative authors on such diverse and interesting topics Morphology, Parasites, Pest Species, Habitats, Conservation, and Techniques (with instructions for the preparation of genitalia slides for examination of critical species), as well as bibliographies of seminal county faunal lists and of works useful for the study of British Lepidoptera. The Systematic Section covers the eight most primitive Lepidoptera families (Micropterigidae, Eriocraniidae, Hepialidae, Nepticulidae, Opostegidae, Tischeriidae, Incurvariidae and Heliozelidae) which, surprising to many, include not only the minutest species of microlepidoptera but also some of the larger, e.g. the swift moths.
