Critics Review
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL “Lees and Zilli detail the physical descriptions and needs of moths and offer many eye-catching pictures, drawings, and diagrams. The authors discuss the basics of biology, including mating and feeding, but students might find chapters on moth warfare and their effects on humans especially fascinating. There is also a sprinkling of the history of moths and moth research.” –Kim Gardner, Fort Worth Country Day School, TX
