Peter Marriott, 32 pages, soft cover plus CD with an additional 130 pages (pdf).

Victoria is home to more than 2,000 different species of moth, and Part 1 of the Moths of Victoria series is a comprehensive catalogue of the families that comprise the Bombycoidea super family:

• Snout moths - Lasiocampidae

• Anthelids - Anthelidae

• Bag Moths - Eupterotidae

• Silk Worms - Bombycidae

• Emperor Moths - Saturniidae

• Hawk Moths - Sphingidae

There are colour photographs of each moth as a pinned specimen (with scale) to show size and wing detail, and as well as in a natural resting position.

Tucked into the back cover you will find a CD that contains over 130 additional pages in pdf format.  This extra reference is ideal for cases where more detail is required.
