The Moths of Glamorgan

The Moths of Glamorgan is the first comprehensive assessment of the moth fauna of the county for nearly two hundred years. It is the culmination of 14 years of research and concerted recording effort in a county that hosts many scarce species, including Portland Moth, Silky Wave, Dingy Mocha, Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth and Scarce Burnished Brass. The status, distribution and flight period is given for each of the 1,500 species recorded from Glamorgan based on the county database of over 350,000 records. The book contains over 200 distribution maps and phenology charts as well as a section on the status of the moths in the county. Introductory sections on the history of moth recording in Glamorgan, geology and moth habitats. It provides a baseline for moth recording in Glamorgan and should prove useful for anyone that wishes to know more about the moths found in this corner of south Wales
