Overview
From a bestselling entomologist and “the godfather of the native-plant movement” (The Washington Post) comes the ultimate up-close look into the secret world of moths and their fascinating methods of deception and survival.
In response to particularly intense selection pressure, moths have found many ways to foil their enemies. They develop extreme forms of blending in, uncannily mimic other creatures, take on radical warning colors, and so much more. In fact, the full spectrum of moth survival tactics has yet to be explained by science.
The Wonder of Moths is our closest look at these fascinating adaptations displayed by moths and their caterpillars. In nearly 500 stunning photographs, we see some of nature's cleverest tricks in action, with one of the world's leading entomologists as our guide. As a New York Times bestselling author, and a major voice in the native plant movement, Douglas W. Tallamy reminds us in the most colorful and exciting fashion that the real reason to plant native is to support moths—the incredible and crucial cornerstone of the entire food web.
