Caterpillars of Great Britain and Ireland - New and accurate Field Guide

Caterpillars of Great British and Ireland  By Phil Sterling and Barry Henwood, Illustrated by Richard Lewington.

A much-needed at-a-glance guide. 

This beautifully illustrated field guide covers caterpillars of the moth and butterfly species that are most likely to be encountered in the British Isles. The Artist, Richard Lewington, is THE acknowledged expert illustrator of such field guides, not just of our time but of all time. Depictions of caterpillars have in the past been more representations than accurate images that enable fast recognition. By our judgement there has never before been a field guide that makes identification from drawings swift and accurate.

The comprehensive introduction covers how to study caterpillars and provides a window into their diverse natural histories, while the species accounts cover status, field characters, similar species, habitat, foodplant and field notes. All accompanied with up-to-date distribution maps.

352 pages,1000 colour illustrations. 199 colour photos and 828 distribution maps
