The 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.

Uniting the results of amateur study with the latest scientific research to paint a broad picture of all aspects of moth biology and ecology, this text uses many 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 and 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 also all explored in this illustrated text.
