For a book with the prospect of only modest sales, Larger Moths of Surrey
by Graham Collins is a handsome production. Surrey is one of the best counties
to find such insects in Britain. Here, the status of each species is discussed,
along with distribution maps and 16 colour plates illustrating a wide variety of
species. It is a companion volume to the same author’s Butterflies of Surrey,
and to Dragonflies of Surrey by Peter Follett. Published by the Surrey Wildlife
Trust, 拢18, ISBN 0952606526.
