Moths are among the most diverse and fascinating insects in North America. In fact, there are far more moths than butterflies--and they are often just as colorful and striking. With over 750 full-color photographs, this comprehensive guide makes identifying moths easier than ever. Naturalist and photographer Jim Sogaard introduces more than 370 species found across the Upper Midwest, including spectacular silkworm moths, sphinx moths, underwings, tiger moths, and more. Each account features clear photographs of adults and caterpillars, along with identification tips and information about food, range, and life cycle. Engaging "Nature Notes" provide fascinating insights into behavior and adaptations.
Book Features:
- More than 370 species of moths, plus their caterpillars
- Over 750 full-color photographs for confident identification
- Red-bar phenograms that show flight periods

Whether you're a backyard naturalist, a hiker, or are simply curious about the night-flying wonders around porch lights, this is the most comprehensive moth reference for Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan--and a perfect companion for exploring the Great Lakes region and beyond.
Jim Sogaard has been studying and photographing moths and caterpillars for more than 30 years. He has visited Costa Rica 15 times to photograph moths and caterpillars in dry and rainforest settings. While there in 1998, he found a hawk moth species new to the country and previously known to science only as a single specimen from Ecuador. His photography has appeared in books, calendars, and the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine. Jim lives near Princeton, Minnesota.
