Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Introductory chapters cover: Classification of the Lepidoptera on a world basis (M. Scoble) and Resting Posture in the Lepidoptera.

The main body of the work consists of life cycle and host plant details for all our Lepidoptera. This replaces Emmet’s earlier "A Field Guide to the Smaller British Lepidoptera", and is extended to include macrolepidoptera.
