The plates from the standard field guide to British moths - Rated
For those who do not already own the superb field guide, here is a portable (and cheaper!) ring-bound version consisting of the original plates together with their brief facing text. In fact, this version includes one additional species. Covers almost all c900 species of "macro" moth of Britain and Ireland. The plates are quite simply stunning - not just for their wealth of observed detail, but also because of their intrinsic beauty.

I still prefer to have the original version, but I can imagine that this ring-bound edition will be very popular.

This guide ddid save my lIfe.. Without being a moth madman, I do enjoy identify moths when i see some, and this guide is absolutely a life saver, for every beginners. It is very well done, just like the famous "field guide to the moths of Gb and northern Ireland" but in a very useable format.
it does make the identificatio n of similar species quite easy .. its weakest point are pugs.. these are still a nightmare to deal with anyway...
