Decent Book

I am a novice learning about observing birds, butterflies, and moths. I have a number of useful books on birds and butterflies to compare against. Moths are quite a challenge to identify with so much variety. In this book, the images are a little small, and the spread wing photos of dead moths are a little challenging for me to compare to my live shots with the wings tucked in. Maybe as I mature in this area I will be able to use the descriptions and photos more effectively. Not many other moth books out there, so I would recommend the book to other novices, but don't expect as much as the more common birding and butterfly books.

What kind of moth is that?

Dr. Covell has done a marvelous job with this field guide. His wonderful descriptions and pictures of moths make it easy for the average Joe to identify moths.
