W. Egmont Kirby-Butterflies and Moths of the United Kingdom 1928 (?), George Routledge and Sons-Third Edition Condition: library copy (names and stamps) overall condition good, minor repairs and age-appropriate wear and tear. Pages are clean and bright, all the plates are present. THIS is a book comprising descriptions of the larger British lepidoptera (macro-lepidoptera), with coloured figures of them all in their perfect state, and many in the larval stage. There are also a few pages given to the micro-lepidoptera, with coloured illustrations of their characteristic species. The coloured plates, of which there are no fewer than seventy, each comprising usually some twenty or thirty figures are sufficient for the purpose of recognition, which is the main value of a work of this kind. W. Egmont Kirby published several entomological books including Beetles, Butterflies, Moths and Other Insects and Insect Foes and Friends.)
