North Carolina and Virginia Moth Photos

Photographs by Will Cook, mostly taken in North Carolina and Virginia. The photos here are just an introduction to the dazzling biodiversity of moths in the region. North Carolina has an incredible number of known moth species: 2666 species on the state list as of April 2014. That's 15 times the number of butterfly species in the state, and more are being discovered all the time! I've got identified photos of only 457 species so far... more to come!

Moth Caterpillars - a sampling of caterpillar photos all on one page for easier viewing.

Recommended Moth Books The new Peterson moth book is finally out -- and it's fantastic! If you would like to help support this web site, please click on the images below to buy through Amazon.
	Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America by David Beadle and Seabrooke Leckie (2012) This new guide is a must-buy for moth fanatics (mothers, for short) in the Carolinas. Though the region covered is the northeastern US and Canada, this is still a great guide for us, particularly the Mountain region. I've been using it like mad to put names on a lot of my unknowns, but still have many to go!
	Owlet Caterpillars of Eastern North America by David L. Wagner, Dale F. Schweitzer, J. Bolling Sullivan, and Richard C. Reardon (2011) A spectacular, huge new guide for those who crave bigger photos and more details on the the Noctuidae, one of the largest moth families. Covers 800 species using 2100 color photographs.
	Caterpillars of Eastern North America: A Guide to Identification and Natural History by David L. Wagner (2005) A photographic guide to caterpillars of moths as well as butterflies. A fantastic resource -- highly recommended.

A big thanks to Bob Patterson, Hugh McGuinness, Merrill Lynch, and other members of the TILS-Moth-rah group for identifying a number of these! Read more about Merrill Lynch's passion for moths.
