The Moth Book by W.J. Holland, first published in 1903, remains a remarkable and foundational work in the study of North American moths. While many scientific texts from that era have become obsolete, Holland’s masterpiece endures as a testament to his passion for the subject and his skill as both a scientist and a writer. It’s a book that masterfully combines scientific rigor with an accessible, engaging style, making it a true classic for both professional entomologists and amateur naturalists alike.
