Moths of Colombia: Field Guide

This is the first comprehensive moth identification guide ever published in print for a Latin American country, and one of the few in the world for a tropical country. It includes 2,065 species of Colombian moths. The accompanying text (in Spanish) for each plate includes information on size, global and altitudinal distribution, occurrence in biogeographic regions and departments, abundance or rarity, and places where the species can be observed. For many species, information on ecology or other aspects, as well as data about the individuals shown on the plate, is also included.

The guide is illustrated with beautiful color images of live individuals, taken by the authors and nearly one hundred other people across the country—from the San Andrés archipelago and Caribbean coasts to the Amazon River, and from the Pacific coast to the borders with Venezuela and Brazil. The species are grouped into 304 color plates and include 34 families, covering the most common and striking moths that readers may encounter during their travels throughout Colombia.
