There are about 8,000 named species of moths in our region, and although most are 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 and illustrates about 25% of the species in every family, including the tiny species, making this the most comprehensive volume in its field. With this approach it provides access to microlepidoptera study for biologists as well as amateur collectors. About 2,500 species are described and illustrated, including virtually all moths of economic importance, summarizing their morphology, taxonomy, adult behavior, larval biology, and life cycles.MothsWest (U.S.)MothsNorthwest, Canadianamateur collectors.biologists.comprehensive account.crop damage.damaging insects.defoliating forests.illustrated.insect biota.insect damage.insect diversity.larval biology.lepidopterists.microlepidoptera study.moth diets.moth infestations.moth larvae.moth life cycles.moth morphology.moth relationships.moth species.moth taxonomy.moths.north america.plant and insect life.plant diets.regional biology.western insects.western north america.MothsMoths595.780978Powell Jerry A85238Opler Paul A69434MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778402603321Moths of Western North America3688270UNINA01222nas a2200289 a 450099100423340240753620250512083804.0991213c19929999vauqr p 0 a0eng c 20012127361061-8600Bibl.
