Angle Shades Moth




These images were actually taken last year in our garden adjacent to East Riddlesden Hall.

Great Images Mark,
What is the best recent book to buy on "mothing". I do have several but they are all, not out of date but are at least 10 years old and there might be something better now? I will look my old books out.....

Hi Dave,

I believe the best Moth book by far is the Field Guide to Moths of Gt Britain & Ireland by Paul Waring, Martin Townsend with illustration by Richard Lewington.

It only deals with the macro-moths and costs £29.95.

If there is a better one then Tom Hubball might know of one. I'm not sure if there is as good equivalent for micro-moths.

Will keep an eye out for this to see what its like. Have looked out my old mothing books now and these may be ok for the moment...
