Large-format photographs of 100 tropical butterflies and moths gathered in the forests of northwestern Costa Rica document the dazzling variety of the butterflies and moths unique to this region. The authors recount these insects' feats of mimicry and migration, lift the veil on their courtship, and show how the new technology of DNA barcoding is changing the picture of Lepidopteran biodiversity.
