The book is an extensively illustrated guide to the identification of over 100 common micro-moth species found in Berkshire, pointing out the features needed to safely identify each species. Whilst this guide is based on information from Berkshire, most of the species covered are common across the whole of the south of England and beyond. (A few errors found in the printed 1st edition have been corrected for the PDF version.)


The book is a joint effort by a number of Berkshire Moth Group members, with thanks to others who provided photos A special mention must be given to Nick Asher of the BMG, who designed the page layouts and oversaw the publication, as well as producing the PDF.

Feedback from readers:

    "Congratulation on the quality of your new book. It is just what is needed and I can't wait until next year to use it!" [from MJ]

    "The book is quite superb in every way. The lay-out is 'customer-friendly' thoughtful and easy to use ... the photographs are all excellent, colour reproduction is perfect to my eyes and of course the 'line' guides, taken together with the confusion species, make the book required reading for moth-ers of any experience. Absolutely delightful and informative." [from AW]
