The notion of such such a bizarre (and occasionally creepy) life form as a caterpillar morphing into something as beautiful and elegant as a butterfly is perhaps one of life’s greatest paradoxes.  While butterflies, being such flamboyant creatures of the sun, receive such attention, moths, their cousins from a world of (mostly) darkness and mystery constitute more than 10 times as many species and are often looked upon as pests.  Containing some lovely lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species as well as their caterpillar larva, this album is an explosion of detail and color!
