The first accessible, comprehensive guide to the names of our butterflies and moths, both English and Latin. This book takes you back to a time before the arts and science were divided. When entomologists were poets and painters too, and when a gift for vivid language went hand-in-hand with a deep pre-Darwinian fascination for the natural world.
