摘要

南部非洲飞蛾及其毛虫。Hermann Staude、Mike Picker 和 Charles Griffiths。Pelagic Publishing, 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU, UK.464 页。ISBN 978-1-78427-347-7.这本期待已久的指南介绍了一个重要且无处不在的动物群体，它不仅是严肃的鳞翅目学家的重要参考资料，也是不断壮大的公民科学家和保护主义者队伍更加熟悉其研究对象的重要工具。本书大部分内容用通俗易懂的语言撰写，同时也向读者介绍了专家用于描述蛾类及其毛虫的术语，因此也具有教育意义。书中的成虫照片均为野外飞蛾，这与早期出版物中的博物馆标本截然不同。

This long-awaited guide to an important and ubiquitous faunal group will not only be a valuable reference for serious lepidopterists, but also a valuable tool to enable the ever growing band of citizen scientists and conservationists to become more familiar with their subjects. It is written for the most part in plain language, whilst also exposing the reader to terms used by experts to describe moths and their caterpillars, thus also having an educational purpose. The adult photographs are of moths in the wild, in contrast to earlier publications, which were of museum specimens.
