Discovering
Moths: Nighttime Jewels in Your Own Backyard, John Himmelman
Chances are that hundreds of species of moths live just outside your
door. Moths show an amazing variety of color, shape, and behavior, but
since mot (though by no means all) of them are active at night, we often simply
overlook them. In Discovering Moths, John Himmelman opens our eyes
showing how moths are every bit as fascinating as the birds and butterflies that
brighten our daylight hours. In lively, accessible prose, he explains
moths' intricate life cycle, their importance in nature, and how just a handful
of the world's moth species are truly pests to humans, He tells how to
attract moths with lights and sugar bait, when and where to observe them, and
even how to photograph these tiny subjects. 232
pages, softcover, 92 color and 6 b&w photos, 44 pen and ink drawings,
glossary, bibliography, index, 6" x 9".
