RSPB ID Spotlight - Moths by Marianne Taylor

RSPB ID Spotlight - Moths by Marianne Taylor

This RSPB-licensed ID guide features 80 artworks illustrating Britain's most common larger moth species. Artworks are printed on one side of the fold-out chart with species grouped taxonomically and helpfully labelled to assist with species identification. On the reverse of the artworks, informative and engaging text outlines the main moth families in Britain detailing their distinguishing features and highlighting some common garden caterpillars. Helpful tips are also included on how to use a moth trap and how you can plant a garden that will appeal to moths and other nectar-feeders.

Richard has also designed and illustrated wildlife stamps for several countries. In 1999, he was awarded Butterfly Conservation's Marsh Award for the promotion of Lepidoptera conservation, and in 2010 the Zoological Society of London's Stamford Raffles Award for contributions to zoology. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society.
