Handboek Motten. Alle microvlinders van Nederland en België. Deel 1-2

Description:

Text Dutch. This two-volume handbook is the very first standard work on micro moths in the Netherlands and Belgium. The book covers 1694 species occurring from the Wadden Islands in the north to the Belgian Ardennes and Lorraine in the south, and it offers an unparalleled overview of this fascinating group.

The work contains more than 4500 photos of adults, larvae and feeding signs, including species whose life history has not previously been described or illustrated. All data on identification, flight time, early stages and distribution have been completely revised. A number of difficult species are treated using identification tools. Species and host plants are given with scientific names. The information is based on many years of research, fieldwork and rearing in a natural environment.

This richly illustrated and in-depth work is the most complete and up-to-date reference work ever published in Western Europe. For nature lovers, biologists, photographers, and anyone with an eye for detail in nature.

Two-part handbook:

Part 1: families Micropterigidae to Tortricidae (947 species)

Part 2: families Autostichidae to Crambidae (747 species)
