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.
