Description

See for yourself one of the most amazing masters of change in the insect kingdom-the luna moth!

Hatching from a tiny egg, the luna moth begins its life as a caterpillar just 0.11 inch (3 millimeters) long.

An eating machine, the caterpillar grows and sheds its skin-or molts-four times.

Then it stitches a silk cocoon among the fallen leaves and becomes a pupa.

Inside the pupa, the insect's body dissolves and reforms.

After about six months, the insect emerges as a beautiful luna moth with a wingspan of up to 5 inches (127 millimeters)-more than 40 times its original size!

In this exciting book, you can learn what makes luna moths similar to and different from other insects.

Close-up photographs and diagrams reveal extraordinary details about moths' bodies, both inside and out.

This book contains directions for creating a moth garden, where you can watch new moths emerge.
