Description

Visit Tamar Valley is delighted to offer this incredibly detailed book about this fascinating and diverse group of insects, many with a subtle beauty that rivals the more familiar butterflies. Nevertheless, these insects are not widely appreciated, primarily because their usually nocturnal habits makes them easy to overlook.

In this book, Phil Barden celebrates these remarkable creatures by cataloguing the over 1000 species of moth that have been recorded on and around the Bere Peninsula, a largely rural area of West Devon bordering the rivers Tamar and Tavy. Detailed information on historic and recent moth sitings is provided, along with notes on their larval food plants, flight dates, and wider distribution. The text is illustrated with over 600 photos nearly all taken by the author, complemented by identification tips and aspects of their life-histories.

The result is a unique insight into an aspect of biodiversity in an area that is already well-known for its wildlife and landscape, demonstrating the riches that are waiting to be discovered in our woods, hedges, fields and gardens.
