They come in a rainbow of colors, from brilliant oranges and pinks to soft greens and violets. There are moths with colorful leopard-like spots, and ones that look more like B-movie aliens; some that are as large as your hand, and others the size of a grain of rice. With helpful tips on how to attract and identify moths, range maps and season graphs showing when and where to find each species, and clear photographs that use the unique Peterson arrow system for easy identification, this guide provides everything an amateur or experienced moth-watcher needs. Sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation and the Roger Tory Peterson Institute. Review: A masterpiece - comprehensive and beautiful - This is the most amazing field guide I've ever seen. The work that must have gone into this book is astounding. The species descriptions are helpful, but it's the photos that are stunning. They are all perfectly lit, cropped, and arranged to make identification easy and accurate. My only issue is that a few of the photos are a little on the small side, so it's hard to see all the detail. But most of the photos are displayed perfectly, so I'm not complaining. I stumbled across this book when I was doing some insect identification with my kids, and it has opened up a whole new world for me. If you're into other forms of nature-watching (particularly birds), beware - you may feel compelled to take up a new hobby. The diversity and beauty of these little guys are every bit as enthralling as birds, and what's more, they come to your porch light at night to visit you! I already have 80+ species on my moth "life list" and I'm looking forward to ID'ing many more. I want to thank the authors for all their hard work, and for revealing a world I never knew existed. Review: Hey Peterson! Might you consider publishing a field guide to moths of the Western United States? - I bought this to help with my understanding of moths and with making ID's on inaturalist, (Although this is for the Northeastern United States and I live in the Western United States). I really like this book although I have just received it and barely used it so far. Some things I like is clear, good sized drawings of the moths with lines pointing to the identifying features featured in the text and the nice pithy overview paragraph on each family covered. Its really helpful having the anatomy of a moth on the first two pages of the book, instead of having to search the middle of it somewhere for it, as well as the silhouettes on the last pages. I finally ended up biting the bullet and buying the "Moths of Western United States as well". which is NOT a field guide and cost about $100 and goes more in depth to species level, has a large number of understandably smaller photographs, and with great diagrams of taxonomic features I'll never ID in the field but that will help me understand the taxonomic level. The two books seem symbiotic for my needs; I"m hoping the Peterson guide will help me key in on the family, and then to use the MWNA for more precise ID. It would be really nice to have a Peterson's field guide to the moths of (the western United States or the pacific states). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #53,129 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Biology of Butterflies #70 in Biology of Wildlife #75 in Natural History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 452 Reviews | ## Images ![Peterson Field Guide To Moths Of Northeastern North America: An Essential Illustrated Guide to Thousands of Species with the Peterson Arrow System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uF7IGbe6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A masterpiece - comprehensive and beautiful *by M***K on March 27, 2021* This is the most amazing field guide I've ever seen.
