British and Irish Moths: Third Edition: A Photographic Guide

Butterflies and larvae, which were included previously, are no longer covered, and the resulting space has been used to good effect by including an additional 800 species, mostly micro-moths, which now receive extensive coverage. Many new photographs have been included, including significant numbers of leaf mines, and those of adult moths are arranged where appropriate in a common orientation with the head to the upper right.  UK and Ireland species maps are included for the first time, and a dark line below photographs of adult moths indicates their typical length. This is an excellent volume, and will justly be consulted alongside moth guides relying on artwork or set specimens to assist the ever increasing number of moth enthusiasts in identifying their catches." – Graham Geen, BTO book reviewsReviews of the first edition:"Jam-packed with photographs [...] this book really is superb and the quality of the photographs excellent. I'd say that you should make room on your bookshelf for this but I suspect you will use it so frequently it will rarely be on the shelf!" – Bulletin of the Amateur Entomologists' Society (February 2009)"A real breakthrough [...] There are two main points which make this book such a winner: the photographs and the range [...] I enthusiastically recommend this book." – The London Naturalist (December 2009)"For relative beginners as myself, a good field guide is essential and the recently published British Moths & Butterflies by Chris Manley ticks all the right boxes as an introduction to this fascinating groupd of insects." – thevisitor.co.uk (6 August 2009)"One of the most comprehensive guides to the subject ever published." – Bexley Times (26 February 2009)
