## Description

There are thousands of moth species in the northeast of North America, and while it might seem that they are all drab grays and browns, there is actually a startling variety. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best guide to moth ID.
*by D***W on June 7, 2026*

The absolute best guide to moth identification that I have found and used.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's about time!!!!
*by D***T on September 27, 2012*

I found a copy of the older version of this book on the internet, and after reading the reviews that accompanied it, was convinced it was THE book to have-people were raving about it. Well, I was really disappointed in it, and consider it almost unusable-maybe the reviews were just raving mad, not happy? The pictures of the moths were all processed in such an unnatural position, and the quality of the photos was very poor, that trying to ID a live specimen using this book was impossible! Then I found this edition, and after seeing some of the pictures Amazon presented, I was thrilled--at last! A book that was practical!!! No, it may not have all the species of moth you'd find in your area, but it'll have most of them! AND the pictures of each moth are superb! Each moth is photographed in the position you'd likely find the moth in, plus it scale drawings so you know how large the moth might be compared to it's picture! This is an invaluable resource for the person who loves researching the life outside their windows. Really--this book is great!!! I have never been more impressed by a Peterson Field Guide than I have with this one. It's really outstanding, and worth the money.
