Friedrich, E. (translated by S. Whitbread), 1986

Breeding Butterflies and Moths - a handbook for British and European species.

The classic work on rearing Butterflies and Moths. The first section covers basic priciples, the second offers detailled advice on selected species. Inevitably, the selection of species is biased towards those that have been more frequently reared - the large and pretty, but, in this English edition, 20 pages are devoted to the microlepidoptera (compared to 22 for butterflies).
