Mark Parsons was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, and started recording
moths in the long hot summer of 1976. He has a BSc in Biology, is a
Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society and is a member of the
British Entomological and Natural History Society and the Societas
Europae Lepidopterologica. He has worked as an entomologist for the
Nature Conservancy Council and the Joint Nature Conservation
Committee, as well as a lepidopterist at the Natural History
Museum, London. Currently based in Dorset, he has worked for
Butterfly Conservation since 1999 overseeing their moth
conservation efforts. He has produced many notes and articles in
entomological journals, and authored or co-authored many papers and
other publications on Lepidoptera and Lepidoptera conservation.
Over almost forty years, Richard Lewington has built up a
reputation as one of Europe’s finest wildlife illustrators. He
first became interested in butterflies as a child when he inherited
a cabinet
of insects from his father. He studied graphic design at the
Berkshire College of
Art, and since leaving in 1971 has specialised in natural-history
illustration. His meticulous paintings
of insects and other wildlife are the mainstay of many of the
modern classics of field-guide art, including Insects of Britain
and Western Europe, Collins Butterfly Guide, Field Guide to
Dragonflies of Britain and Europe, Field Guide to the Moths of
Great Britain and Ireland, Pocket Guide to Butterflies of Britain
and Ireland and Guide to Garden Wildlife. He was, for many years,
the principal artist on the multi-volume series, The Moths and
Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland. He has also designed and
illustrated wildlife stamps for a number of countries, including a
set of ten stamps of British butterflies for Royal Mail in
2013.
