(PRLeap.com) "Caterpillars to Moths: The Metamorphosis Stages", a new book by Connie Zakowski, has been released by RoseDog Books.Through a series of original, highly detailed photographs, Zakowski documents the complete life cycle of the magnificent Cecropia moth, taking the reader on a journey from a tiny, cream-colored egg to a vibrant, four-inch caterpillar, and finally to a winged nocturnal adult.
This comprehensive guide illuminates every intricate stage of the metamorphosis process with clarity and wonder. Readers will witness the caterpillar's dramatic color shifts as it grows, the meticulous craftsmanship involved in spinning a silk cocoon for the winter, and the final, delicate struggle as the moth emerges to expand its wings in a matter of minutes.
