"I highly recommend this book for citizen scientists, professionals, or anyone who has seen moths on their front porch and is curious about these animals and their 'secret' lives. . . . [A] perfect introduction to these amazing insects."---Alma Solis, American Entomologist "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 "A good read, filled with interesting facts about moths, some of which are bound to be new to any reader."---Paul Waring, Atropos
