Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Southeastern North America
by Seabrooke Leckie and David Beadle
From Houghton Mifflin Harcourt:
Southeastern North America is home to an incredible variety of moths, from drab browns to bright yellows and pinks, the small and simple to the flashy or bizarrely shaped. Just a few are common house and garden pests; thousands more harmless species live hidden in woods and meadows. This comprehensive guide of more than 1,800 common species is the best tool for identifying and appreciating these ubiquitous insects.
With helpful tips and techniques for observing moths, range maps and graphs showing when and where to see them, and keys to identifying even the tough species, the Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Southeastern North America provides everything an amateur or experienced moth-watcher needs.
Moths are cool, I suppose, but I hadn’t really given them much thought. Certainly never considered trying to identify them, with their insane number of species. But now, at some point this year I will put up a white sheet and light (as described in this book) and the kids and I will use this guide to try to ID some moths. Hurray for field guides!
