How often do we pass by moths under a porch light without giving them a second glance? Yet moths, far more plentiful than butterflies, often emerge just as beautiful as #butterflies. Presented here is original research on 100 #Texasmoth species by #JohnTveten. Book info: bit.ly/4oBiC95
New release graphic with book cover at the upper left corner. Book description text reads: "Book of Texas Moths is based on the original field work of distinguished Texas naturalist, author, and photographer John Tveten (1934–2009). Tveten kept meticulous field notes about nearly every bird, butterfly, mammal, reptile, dragonfly, and moth he encountered, and his entries linked to corresponding photographs of the moths in various stages of their life cycles. Nature writers Gary and Kathy Adams Clark, close friends and proteges of John and Gloria Tveten, present his  transcribed field notes alongside his stunning photographs. " From the Gideon Lincecum Nature and Environment Series.
