Meetings with moths : discovering their mystery and extraordinary lives
Baird, Katty2024
Book
Why do butterflies bask in the limelight as mood-lifting colourful insects associated with bright flowers and sunny days, when the near-identical moths are relegated to be cast as their drab and dowdy, at best ignored, cousins? The ecologist Katty Baird roams East Lothian in Scotland, trapping, documenting and observing moths. Burnet Moths, Kentish Glories, Death's Head Hawk-Moths are just some of the moths that catch her attention as she climbs into holes, ventures behind waterfalls and wanders forests. This book is a story about green health and the power of a passion to sustain us.
