The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland

The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland
The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland Volume 1

The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland (abbreviated to MBGBI or MOGBI) is a multi-volume reference work on the lepidoptera of the British Isles.

The series is published by Harley Books.

Eleven volumes are planned in total. So far, volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10 have been published. Volumes 4 and 7 were each split into two parts due to their size.

Each volume has text, distribution maps, and illustrations of the moths it covers. When the series is complete, this will be the first time that all species of lepidoptera recorded in Britain have been illustrated in a single reference work.

Volume 7 part 2 contains a 241-page Life History chart covering all British species.
