Description:
Moths are often as beautiful as butterflies and, with over 800 British species alone, they are more numerous, more diverse, and occupy a far wider variety of habitats and lifestyles. Yet for most naturalists they remain a little known and neglected group. The Natural History of Moths unites the results of amateur study with the latest scientific research to paint a broad picture of all aspects of moth biology and ecology. The breeding, feeding, distribution, and life-history ecology of moths are described as well as the more specialized aspects of their behavior. Their interactions with host plants, their anti-predator responses, and the threats arising from the degradation of natural habitats are all explored in this beautifully illustrated text. Covers rarely published aspects of history of moth ecology/biology. Features stunning colour photo section with 'photo-essays' on features of moth behavior/ecology.
