Here's a bit more info:

Guide should include about 1300 species, illustrated by about 1500
photographs.

Both macromoths and many of the smaller micromoths will be treated in the
guide.

The guide will present photographic images of moths as they are
normally found in their resting postures.

"All of the images you see here are the actual images that will appear
for those species on the identification pages of the guide."

pg

Potential layout design: http://bit.ly/pAemIn

The plates will utilize the Peterson identification system of arrows
to highlight key features for confirming the ID of a species.

Range of coverage: Missouri - Virginia - New Brunswick - Minnesota.

Guide will include range maps rather than range descriptions.
