Little Wings of Wonder: The Secret Lives of Moths
Discover the hidden world that comes alive after dark.
While butterflies bask in daylight glory, moths-their mysterious nocturnal cousins-carry out some of nature's most essential work under cover of darkness. With over 160,000 species worldwide, moths vastly outnumber butterflies, yet remain largely overlooked and misunderstood.
Little Wings of Wonder unveils the secret lives of these remarkable creatures, from tiny micro-moths that sparkle like jewels to giant silk moths with wingspans rivaling small birds. You'll discover how moths navigate by starlight, pollinate night-blooming flowers, and employ ingenious camouflage that would make a master spy envious. Learn why that moth at your porch light isn't confused-it's following ancient navigation instincts in a modern world.
Whether you're a curious nature lover, dedicated gardener, or aspiring night photographer, you'll gain a new appreciation for these silent pollinators and ecosystem engineers.

Gardeners wanting to support native wildlife and pollinators
