Some species are specialized in their habitat preferences, but others are widespread and often encountered in gardens. However, little is known about most species, and associating the adults with their larvae has previously been difficult or impossible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHawkmoths of Australia\u003c\/i\u003e allows identification of all of the Australian hawkmoths for the first time and treats species found on mainland Australia, Tasmania and all offshore islands within Australian limits. It presents previously undescribed life histories of nearly all species and provides a comprehensive account of hawkmoth biology, including new parasitoids and their hawkmoth hosts. Detailed drawings and photographs show the external and internal morphology of adults and immatures, and eggs, larval instars and pupa. Keys are provided for last instar larvae and pupae of the 71 species that the authors have reared. The book is concluded by a glossary, appendices to parasitoids and larval foodplants, an extensive reference list with bibliographical notes and a comprehensive index. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The wealth of new information in this book makes it an essential reference for anyone interested in these moths. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eHawkmoths of Australia\u003c\/i\u003e is Volume 13 of the \u003ci\u003eMonographs on Australian Lepidoptera\u003c\/i\u003e Series.","brand":"CSIRO Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47780105388183,"sku":"9781486302819","price":18283.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781486302819.webp?v=1778042434","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hawkmoths-of-australia-identification-biology-and-distribution-9781486302819","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
