Moths (New Naturalist)

"Moths occur throughout the terrestrial world, from inside the Arctic circle to the tropics. As the major part of the Lepidoptera, they thus comprise the Earth's second largest order of organisms after the beetles: nearly 200,000 species exist world-wide. Another volume in the popular series, New Naturalist Moths is a comprehensive account of the diverse natural history of these fascinating insects." "Michael Majerus, author of New Naturalist Ladybirds, examines all aspects of moths, from their life histories to their role as pests to humans. He covers their reproduction, feeding, evolution, habitats and conservation. As he debunks the myths which surround these insects, Majerus examines the behaviour, coloration, and mimicry of these cleverly camouflaged, masters of disguise." "This is the definitive text for the study of these insects, written by an established New Naturalist author."--BOOK JACKET.
