Can anyone recommend a book that lists the larval food plants of moths and butterflies? I know that Northumberland moth group do a comprehensive list, but I wondered about a book. Nothing like a book to pick up and browse through!
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the recording blog for the Carmarthenshire Moth and Butterfly Group. Could members please add any moth or butterfly records or any general items of interest by making a new post. Although everyone can comment on a post you will have to be a member to add a new post.
Vol. 7 Pt 2 of "The Moths and butterflies of GB & I" is one option. It is pretty extensive but I don't think I would describe it as browsing material. Light reading it isn't and not light on your wallet either.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. See what you mean. Thinking more of a list of plants with associated caterpillars. Think Vol 7 is way above my pay grade!!
ReplyDeleteThanks though.
For micros, the new and comprehensive (2018) `A Field Guide to the Smaller Moths of GB & Ireland` Langmaid et al is very good.
ReplyDeleteOnline `UK Leaf Mines` has a plants option whereby you choose your plant species and see what micros eat that plant.
The rather selective A Field Guide to Caterpillars of Butterflies & Moths of Britain & Europe Carter (1986) has caterpillars shown by food plant. More `readable` perhaps. Possibly available online cheap 2nd-hand.
Thanks Ian

ReplyDeleteThat looks just the ticket, and at a reduced price too! Thanks Paul.
