A good field guide for moths, butterflies and catterpillers
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 9:40 pm
I'm looking for a book to buy my boyfriend for his birthday and I wondered if you could help?
We just want something so that we can take pictures of bugs when we are out on walks and get back to the house/car and work out what they are called.
I'd like it to:
Has anyone got any good recomendations?
Thanks,
Freckle
We just want something so that we can take pictures of bugs when we are out on walks and get back to the house/car and work out what they are called.
I'd like it to:
- Include all the "main" butterflies and moths in Britain
Have photographs not just drawings
Include pictures of all (or at least most) of the caterpillers
Point out all the major identifying features of each species and how to aviod confusion with similar species
Has anyone got any good recomendations?
Thanks,
Freckle
