Moths are a crucial insect group encompassing more than 160,000 species, and they are among the most ancient of Earth’s inhabitants, with some fossils believed to be 190 million years old. This richly illustrated guide to their biology, evolution, and history demonstrates the incredible diversity of these winged insects and reveals the ruthless survival tactics used by some-including blood sucking moths, cannibalism in the cocoon, and carnivorous caterpillars. The book also explores their extraordinary life cycle, charting development from egg to larva to cocoon to airborne adult, as well as surprising variations of colour and wing patterns that moths have evolved. Engaging narrative and specially commissioned photographs of moth specimens make this the perfect gift book for scientists and science enthusiasts alike.

Written by David Lees and Alberto Zilli
