The Magic of Butterflies and Moths by Steve Andrews was a very interesting book and great if you are fantasticated by moths and butterflies. This has great information and illustrations throughout and I found this book great, I wanted to find out what moths and especially butterflies visit my garden throughout the year.

I love butterflies and I love how they are related to the spiritual world and their beauty. This is an interesting and informative book
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

Thank you NetGalley, the author, and the publisher, for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

As a gardener, I am always delighted to watch butterflies and moths enjoying my buffet of garden flowers. I anticipated seeing colorful photos accompanying descriptions and facts about butterflies and moths in this book.

Unfortunately, this non fiction book was a little dry and had only a handful of black and white photos.

To be honest I did glean some interesting facts about the lives of these insects
that I did not know before reading.

However, the moths and butterflies described were native to Britain and did little to help out the North American gardener.

I found this quite an interesting book, I like butterflies that come and visit my garden, I love their color and markings, as I do the moths that intrigue me with their velvet sheen.
Having said this, I am not a lepidopterist which this book is probably more aimed for. The book is interesting as it feels like a journey, side by side with a very well versed lepidopterist, who can put together history, envioroment, description and beauty. An easy book to read for those interested moths and butterflies, there are images, unfortunately for my taste, they were all only in black and white. Thanks you NetGalley and the publishers for the DRC

While I've always been fascinated with butterflies (not so much moths), I never knew all that much about them.  The magic of butterflies and moths has given me quite the back story on both, different variations of them and their history. I was hoping for a bit more in the way of colorful photos (they're all black and white) but still an interesting read, just the same.  (That death's head hawk moth probably hits just as hard in black and white as color though. Wow!)

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.
