Description

James Lowen's year-long quest to discover Britain's rarest and most remarkable moths is a journey into the world of these often-overlooked creatures. From the mountains to the marshes, he follows in the footsteps of Victorian collectors and present-day conservationists to uncover the secrets behind their allure.

As he explores British landscapes, Lowen reveals a complex world of criminality, controversy, and determination, where moths are not just fascinating insects but also a reflection of our relationship with nature. Alongside his young daughter, he discovers the beauty of common creatures in their suburban garden, highlighting the accessibility of these often-maligned animals.

Through his travels, Lowen shows that moths have much to teach us about the state of our wild and not-so-wild habitats. With no pretensions to being an expert, just a passion for discovery, this book is a compelling exploration of the natural world and our place within it.
