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
