YICHAO WANGBiology -338Prof. Rober D. StevensonTA: Yufei He & HeeJung Ko Date: 04/06/2015Book Review: “Butterflies and Moths”By Yichao Wang, Biology Department, University of Massachusetts, Boston, MA (2015)________________________________________________________________________This book is written and photographed by Jo Brewer and Dave Winter in 1986, with drawings by Channing Thieme. It is the first edition and published by Prentice Hall Press, New York, NY. This book’s purpose is to help the interested readers understand the nature of order of Lepidoptera. It is a companion of readers’ field guide. “Lepidoptera” refers to “wings covered with scales”. Butterflies and moths are the only insects that wings clothed with scales. The word of “Lepidoptera” was first classified by the famous Sweden naturalist who is Linnaeus.This book tells us many information about butterfly and moth, such as their species numbers, families, morphology, biogeography, taxonomy, growth and development, reproduction, life time, behaviors, feeding, what kind of habit they need, how they communicate with each other, what predators they encounter, strategies of predator avoidance, what roles they have in the ecosystem, what problem they cause, and so on. The most reliable way to tell butterflies apart from moths is to look at their antennae. “The moths’ antennae are either hair-like, saw-toothed, or plumed; the butterflies’ antennae are smooth, with knobs at the ends”(Page 3). There are many fascinating facts in this book. The species of moths are more than butterflies. This book describes that moths have 13 families and butterflies have 8 families.
