A marvelously illustrated guide to the world's moths.

With more than 160,000 named species, moths are a familiar sight to most of us, flickering around lights, pollinating wildflowers about meadows and gardens, and as unwelcome visitors to our woolens. They come in a variety of colours, from earthy greens and browns to gorgeous patterns of infinite variety, and range in size from enormous atlas moths to tiny leaf mining moths. Moths of the World is an essential guide to this astonishing group of insects, highlighting their remarkable diversity, miraculous metamorphoses, marvelous caterpillars, and much more.

Reviews for Moths of the World: A Natural History

""Moths are incredibly appealing insects, but they are not the easiest taxon to become familiar with. This book makes huge strides in that direction.""---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds ""This magnificently illustrated book will appeal to a wide variety of readers interested in nature and uniquely beautiful animals. It has been written clearly and carefully so that it is easy for the lay person to understand. The photographs are stunning and there are hundreds to admire.""---Ann Chilcott, The Beelistener
