BOOK LAUNCH: Butterflies & Moths of Aotearoa by Liv Sissons

From the bestselling author of Fungi of Aotearoa comes another beautiful, surprising field guide that sheds light on the overlooked lives of our butterflies and moths.

Coppers and cosmets, blues and brushfoots, loopers and twirlers . . . Welcome to the wondrous world of moths and butterflies!

New Zealand is home to colourful, curious species that are variously conspicuous and covert. We have world-famous monarchs, a gold-flecked moth as old as dinosaurs, butterflies that flash from purple to orange, and a lime-green moth said to bring messages from the spirit realm. But where do they live, how did they get here and what do they do when we aren't looking?

Discover how to find, identify and support these remarkable creatures in this practical guide from bestselling author Liv Sisson. Featuring hundreds of full-colour photographs, diagrams, fun facts and up-to-date descriptions, Butterflies and Moths of Aotearoa will delight any curious mind, and inspire fresh adventures in your own backyard.
