A Complete History of the Butterflies and Moths of Sussex. Vol. 1-4

Description:

Vol. 1: Introduction and the Micro-moths, including the Swifts and Clearwings; Vol. 2: The Pyralids and Plumes, the Butterflies and the Geometer Moths; Vol. 3: The Hawks to the Fan-foots; Vol. 4: Supplement to all species. Very scarce. Limited edition (limitation unspecified) with signed and numbered presentation bookplates to Vol. 1 (No. 86) & 4 (No. 129). There have been two earlier surveys of Sussex Lepidoptera by Colin Pratt, (1981, 1999 (CD)). This work builds upon the 1999 collation, and includes a vast amount of both more modern and historical information, which has come to notice since the initial reports were published, allowing a complete and detailed revision. The Sussex micro-moths are also included in detail for the first time.
