Our investigations into the origins of the moorland moths have carried us far from the peaty uplands of Black-a-more to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean, to the great chains of the Alps and Pyrenees, to Greenland, and to Siberia. These fragile insects which fly out of the heath by the roadsides on our familiar Yorkshire hills are the bearers of secrets to which those of state seem trifling in comparison.
