Sinopsis
u003cpu003eu003cbu003eA richly illustrated look at the natural history of mothsu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eMoths are among the most underappreciated insects on the planet, yet they make up the majority of some 180,000 known species of Lepidoptera. Filled with striking images, u003ciu003eThe Lives of Mothsu003c/iu003e looks at the remarkable world of these amazing and beautiful creatures.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eWhile butterflies may get more press than moths, Andrei Sourakov and Rachel Warren Chadd reveal that the lopsided attention is unjust. Moths evolved long before butterflies, and their importance cannot be overestimated. From the tiniest leaf miners to exotic hawk moths that are two hundred to three hundred times larger, these creatures are often crucial pollinators of flowers, including many that bloom at night or in twilight. The authors show that moths and their larvae are the main food source for thousands of animal species, and interact with other insect, plant, and vertebrate communities in ecosystems around the world, from tropical forests and alpine meadows to deserts and wetlands. The authors also explore such topics as evolution, life cycles, methods of communication, and links to humans.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eA feast of remarkable facts and details, u003ciu003eThe Lives of Moths u003c/iu003ewill appeal to insect lovers everywhere.u003c/pu003e
