Overview
A fascinating look at the life cycles of grizzly bears and army cutworm moths and their surprising interconnection.
It's February in the Rocky Mountains, where a grizzly bear and her cubs snuggle and rest. Over on the Great Plains, the army cutworm caterpillars lie dormant. Both species are waiting for spring. When the bears emerge into the world and the caterpillars transform into moths ready for a long migration, the animals begin their journeys through the seasons.
In summer, the animals meet up in the mountains. As the moths shelter in the jagged rocks, the bears come looking for a tasty snack to fatten up for winter. They consume thousands of moths in a day. When fall comes, the bears head off to look for a den while the remaining moths return to the plains to lay their eggs, all for the life cycle to begin again. With lyrical text accompanied by factual sidebars and informational back matter, Great Grizzlies and Little Moths is a fascinating and beautiful window into this unlikely relationship.
