520    Moths are a crucial insect group encompassing more than 
       160,000 species, and they are among the most ancient of 
       Earth's inhabitants, with some fossils believed to be 190 
       million years old. This richly illustrated guide to their 
       biology, evolution, and history demonstrates the 
       incredible diversity of these winged insects and reveals 
       the ruthless survival tactics used by some--including 
       blood-sucking moths, cannibalism in the cocoon, and 
       carnivorous caterpillars. The book also explores their 
       extraordinary life cycle, charting development from egg to
       larva to cocoon to airborne adult, as well as the 
       surprising variations of color and wing patterns that 
       moths have evolved. Engaging narrative and specially 
       commissioned photographs of moth specimens make Moths: A 
       Complete Guide to Biology and Behavior a perfect gift book
       for scientists and science enthusiasts alike.--amazon.com.
