About this listen
Mossy greens, conker browns, cream, chocolate and deepest black; add stripes, swirls and splotches and you have some of the most striking wildlife Britain has to offer.
In Meetings with Moths ecologist Katty Baird roams Scotland seeking out, documenting and observing moths. Green Longhorns, Pimpinel Pugs and Peacock Moths are just some of the species that catch her attention as she climbs into holes, ventures behind waterfalls and wanders forests with her boundless curiosity.
But you needn’t travel far and wide to see beautiful moths. Katty shows that you can easily enjoy discovering moths and caterpillars without specialist knowledge by creating your own light trap or simply looking more closely at your immediate landscape.
Meetings with Moths is a story about green health and the power of a passion to sustain us.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A lovely story of life and moths
I really enjoyed this book, maybe mostly because I am a moth enthusiast myself! It has given me plenty of inspiration to get out and trap more and engage with the community of moth recorders in my local area. As a mum of young children, it also gives me hope I can keep dragging my kids out to look for moths and caterpillars for years to come!
