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 colors, from earthy greens and browns to gorgeous patterns of infinite variety, and range in size from the enormous atlas moth to tiny leafmining 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.

  • Covers anatomy, evolution, life cycle, behavior, ecology, and conservation
  • Profiles species from every major family, showcasing their endless variety of sizes, colors, shapes, and fascinating life histories
  • Discusses habitats, distribution, and hostplant associations
  • Written by a world-renowned expert
