The Smaller Moths of Herefordshire & Worcestershire An Atlas by Michael Harper and Tony Simpson Part 1: Micropterigidae to Scythrididae

This atlas, published in January 2003 and available now, is a companion volume to the same authors’ “Larger Moths & Butterflies….” and will eventually be followed by Part 2, which will complete the remaining micromoths. Over 600 species are covered with maps of modern distributions and historical sightings. Details of local foodplants, habitat, life-history and notable sightings are given. The authors have examined old collections and incorporated species from them, sometimes after re-classification of specimens. Five colour pages have 36 pictures of moths, mines and cases.

PRICE for members of Butterfly Conservation, Herefordshire Nature Trust or Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is £9-50.
PRICE for non-members is £12-00
POSTAGE AND PACKING is extra at £2-50
Cheques should be made out to Butterfly Conservation, West Midlands Branch.
Order from Dr. Christine Chance, 65 Wentworth Rd., Harborne, Birmingham B17 9SS.

The deadline for the Summer Newsletter is 30 June 2003. Due to pressure of space, I have omitted both ‘Instructions for contributors’ and ‘Health and Safety’ in this issue. Please see the last Newsletter for details.
