Caterpillars, Moths & Their Plants

Using the most recent information, this book draws attention to the wonderful world of moths and their caterpillars. It provides an insight into some of Australia’s previously neglected fauna and highlights the importance of caterpillars in the ecosystem as plant-feeding herbivores and as a critical food source for our birds, lizards and other predators.

Gardeners will be surprised at how many garden plants can support the local moth community, and how these help sustain urban biodiversity and maintain a food supply for other native animals.

Readers will gain an idea of the range of various moths from the distribution maps included.
