MOTHS OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH AMERICA (PETERSON FIELD GUIDE)

The guide covers northeastern North America, the area roughly from New Brunswick south to Virginia and west to Minnesota and Missouri. Nearly 1500 species, illustrated by close to 2000 photographs, are included. About 950 macromoths species and 550 of the smaller micromoths are treated in the guide; the latter group are only skimmed over in Dr. Covell’s book (more on this below). Most macromoth species include range maps rather than range descriptions, flight periods are represented visually for quick reference, and of course, the plates will utilize the Peterson identification system of arrows to highlight key features for confirming the ID of a species.
