Filled with striking images, \u003ci\u003eThe Lives of Moths\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the remarkable world of these amazing and beautiful creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA feast of remarkable facts and details, \u003ci\u003eThe Lives of Moths\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to insect lovers everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803842662558,"sku":"ADS-9780691228563","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780691228563.jpg?v=1778206328","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780691228563","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
