Caterpillars of Eastern North America - A Guide to Identification and Natural History

Zusatztext "This is a fine, easy-to-use book that is sure to be in the hands of everyone interested in exploring their own gardens or nearby vacant lots, written to be understood by middle-school students as well as professionals. Very highly recommended!" Informationen zum Autor David L. Wagner Klappentext "This book adds to our understanding of caterpillars by providing a means to identify common caterpillars via excellent photos of early stages that are associated with photos of adults, and through snippets of natural history text for each species. This alone will generate enthusiasm for caterpillars among professional biologists and general readers interested in lepidoptera." --Philip J. DeVries, Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, author of The Butterflies of Costa Rica and Their Natural History, Volumes I and II "This book is an important contribution to the existing knowledge on the lepidoptera of North America, one that should spawn the gathering of new information. It fills a glaring gap in the popular literature on the continent's fauna." --Steven M. Roble, Staff Zoologist, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage Zusammenfassung Enables you to identify the caterpillars of nearly 700 butterflies and moths found east of the Mississippi. This book provides information on the distribution, biology, and taxonomy of caterpillars beyond. It covers caterpillar structure, life cycles, rearing, natural enemies, photography, and conservation.
