di Katty Baird (Autore)

Fourth Estate, 2023

Mossy greens, conker browns, cream, chocolate and deepest black; add stripes, swirls and splotches and you have some of the most striking wildlife Britain has to offer. In Meetings with Moths ecologist Katty Baird roams Scotland seeking out, documenting and observing moths. Green Longhorns, Pimpinel Pugs and Peacock Moths are just some of the species that catch her attention as she climbs into holes, ventures behind waterfalls and wanders forests with her boundless curiosity. But you needn’t travel far and wide to see beautiful moths. Katty shows that you can easily enjoy discovering moths and caterpillars without specialist knowledge by creating your own light trap or simply looking more closely at your immediate landscape. Meetings with Moths is a story about green health and the power of a passion to sustain us. In Meetings with Moths, Katty Baird explores the diverse habitats of Scotland, from the coastal shorelines to the lush ecosystems, making it the latest and best reference in ecology. Her passion for nature and animals, especially moths and butterflies, shines through, making this book a top pick for new and seasoned nature enthusiasts. For fans of James Lowen (Much Ado About Mothing), Andy Swash (Hummingbirds), Isabella Tree (Wilding), Helen Czerski (Storm in a Teacup), and Megan Mccubbin (An Atlas of Endangered Species).
