One of the commonest ways to convert bird sounds into visual code is to use transcriptions into what seem the nearest equivalent human sounds in our own spoken language, e.g. quack, caw, tu-whit to-whoo... Most field guides offer careful transcriptions of the commonest calls & sometimes songs (pictures 1&2 Collins Bird Guide). John Bevis collected such transcriptions in his book „aaaaw to zzzzzd“ (pictures 3-6).

Conceptual cover for a Bloomsbury Wildlife Field Guide to the Butterfly and Moth Pupae of Great Britain and Ireland (or 'Fgttbampogbai' for short).

Cover pupae artwork is of the Wood White, Cryptic Wood White, and Orange-Tip Butterflies. From pictures taken of Richard Lewington's Pocket Guide to the Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland

There's no need for this field guide to exist because of the highly cryptic nature of pupae themselves and the fact so many moth pupae would be the same nondescript brown blob.

However, the collector in me dreams of a complete 5-book British Lepidoptera Field Guide set, up-to-date this would include:

• Field Guide to the Caterpillars of Great Britain and Ireland (2020) by Henwood, Stirling, and Lewington

• Field Guide to the Moths of Great Britain and Ireland (Third Edition) (2017) by Waring, Townsend, and Lewington

• Field Guide to the Micro-moths of Great Britain and Ireland (2012) by Sterling, Parsons, and Lewington

• Pocket Guide to the Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland (Second Edition) (2015) by Lewington

The Great Smokies are chock full of lichens as Tripp and Lendemer show us in this exquisitely detailed field guide. FYI: lichens are made up of an alga or a cyanobacterium and a fungus growing in symbiotic association. . . #imlichenit #fieldguides #funwithfungi #greatsmokymountains #booksareessential #naturalhistory #appalachianmountains (at City Lights Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCtfpXzJ0Cv/?igshid=zyq1ajzol8x3

This is our Audubon field guide collection thus far, courtesy of Half Price books. As paranormal investigators and lovers of nature, these are handy to keep around. 🤓🌿 PS: This aloe plant is named Hettie. I’ve had her since 2016 and she’s just been the easiest plant to keep around. #fieldguides #naturegirl #aloeplant #audubon #plantsofinstagram #crazyplantlady (at Madison, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4OJXZn5S4/?igshid=1pyh1so1be829
