Sobre IBD

This book contains a fascinating account of some of the authors experiences as a naturalist living near The Limberlost, a swamp in north-eastern Michigan, North America. With masterful descriptions of moths and astute observation about nature and life in general, Gene Stratton-Porter’s 'Moths of the limberlost' constitutes a must-have for nature lovers everywhere. Gene Stratton-Porter (1863 - 1924) was an American naturalist, photographer, and author. She is famous for being one of the first ever women to start a movie production company. Contents include: 'Moths of the Limberlost', 'Moths, Eggs, Caterpillars, Winter Quarters', 'The Robin Moth: Ceropia', 'The Yellow Emperor: Eacles Imperialis', 'The Lady Bird: Deilephila Lineata', 'Moths of the Moon: Actias Luna', 'Kind of the Hollyhocks: Protoparce Celeus', 'Hera of the Corn: Hyperchira Lo', et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
