is regarded as a jewel of nature, where due to its isolated location away from
all continents, a very unique flora and fauna could develop with numerous
species that are found nowhere else in the world. This includes an amazing and
unique variety of butterflies – and especially moths, which are systematically presented
here for the first time in detail. All displayed animals
were photographed alive, as they were captured at night by Armin Dett with the
help of a light trap and then released.
In
cooperation with leading collections and scientists they were identified and
assigned, their genus families characterized and described. The book not only
makes you marvel at nature’s amazing creativeness through the stunning photos, but also provides an
identification guide and is a valuable research tool. Furthermore, it is an
important record of the current time, as climate change and habitat destruction
due to clearing and population growth threaten this natural paradise in the
Indian Ocean.
