This is a wonderful book. It has many enlarged (close-up) photos of caterpillars and live moths. The text is engaging, and pertains to defense mechanisms of saturniids. There is no other book on Saturniidae like this. I highly recommend it for individuals and libraries. It is reasonably priced. If you buy it, you will not be disappointed.
