I'm so impressed by the delicate tenacity of moths. So fragile, and yet here in late October, after several snowfalls and hard frost, we have moths fluttering about tonight. Not just one; there are many moths out tonight. Strength is not always defined by absolutes. So please, have some respect for the humble moth. And learn from her example.
I just ordered a reprint of W. J. Holland's definitive field guide "A Popular Guide To A Knowledge Of The Moths Of North America." I'm excited to learn more about these fascinating insects. Although there are more recent and exhaustive guides to North American moths, notably the ones published by Wedge Entomological Research Foundation http://www.wedgefoundation.org/publications.html they are prohibitively expensive for my budget. Perhaps some day they will be available as a set on a CD.
