Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the remarkable diversity of the insect fauna found in the north-eastern counties of Scotland. The author, whose interest in entomology dates back over twenty years, provides a detailed account of the various moth species inhabiting the area, particularly the Noctuidae, or owlet moths. This taxonomic group alone accounts for almost half of the recorded British moth species, making this region a particularly rich hunting ground for entomologists. The book offers a comprehensive guide to the physical features of Moray and its impact on local wildlife, with particular emphasis placed on the habitat provided by Cluny Hill Hydropathic's extensive wooded grounds. The book also examines the historical and literary context of the book's subject, providing valuable insights into the evolution of entomological research and the significance of the book's findings to the field.
