From the Author
Moths that are camouflaged like the bark of a tree, hornets with their black and yellow warning colors, tasty viceroy butterflies that mimic bitter-tasting monarchs, eye spots on the wings of cecropia moths that turn them into scary masks, hairstreak butterflies that look like they are coming and going these are some of the fascinating insects that Ron Goor has so beautifully photographed and that Milicent Selsam has so clearly and succinctly discussed in this wonderful book on the ways insects protect themselves by color and shape. All insects in the book can be found in your own backyard. Read the book and then see the biological principles illustrated all around you.
