About This Book

The work presents detailed, colored illustrations of native moths and butterflies alongside concise natural-history descriptions, tracing each species' life stages from egg through caterpillar and chrysalis to adult. Plates are paired with accounts of seasonal appearance, host plants, feeding habits, and practical guidance for finding, rearing, and preserving specimens. Observations are drawn from prolonged field and experimental study and organized into classes with accompanying plant identifications. Prefatory material explains the author's methods and influences, and the volume aims to make insect study accessible by combining accurate paintings with systematic notes on behavior, development, and collection techniques.
