Description
"Insects boast incredible diversity, and this book treats an important component of the western insect biota that has not been summarized before - moths and their plant relationships. There are about 8,000 named species of moths in our region, and although most go unnoticed by the public, many attract attention when their larvae create economic damage: eating holes in woolens, infesting stored foods, boring into apples, damaging crops and garden plants, or defoliating forests. In contrast to previous North American moth books, this volume discusses about 25 percent of the species in every family, including the tiny species, making it the most comprehensive volume in the field. Describing and illustrating about 2,500 species, including virtually all moths of economic importance, this book covers their morphology, taxonomy, adult behavior, larval biology, and life cycles."--BOOK JACKET.
