- Comprehensive, beautifully illustrated and modestly priced
I can only agree with the previous reviewers. This modestly priced guide is also an outstanding work and a spin off from the excellent 'Field Guide to Moths...' by the same authors.

There are over 20,000 species of insect in the UK and over 2000 are moths. Not surprisingly, many books cover only selected species (and try to conceal this shortcoming) leaving one wondering if they are going to give a reliable identification. This book gets as close as one can to covering all the bases, as it has all the 'macro' moths (about 900 species, generally 1cm-2cm long and upwards).

The images are so much clearer in this book than those I remember from years ago (e.g. Richard South's two volume 'Moths of the British Isles'). ... Read More:

- The plates from the standard field guide to British moths
For those who do not already own the superb field guide, here is a portable (and cheaper!) ring-bound version consisting of the original plates together with their brief facing text. In fact, this version includes one additional species. Covers almost all c900 species of "macro" moth of Britain and Ireland. The plates are quite simply stunning - not just for their wealth of observed detail, but also because of their intrinsic beauty.

I still prefer to have the original version, but I can imagine that this ring-bound edition will be very popular.

- excellent
This guide ddid save my lIfe.. Without being a moth madman, I do enjoy identify moths when i see some, and this guide is absolutely a life saver, for every beginners. It is very well done, just like the famous "field guide to the moths of Gb and northern Ireland" but in a very useable format.
it does make the identificatio n of similar species quite easy .. its weakest point are pugs.. these are still a nightmare to deal with anyway...
