By lantern light in a vanishing swamp, Gene Stratton-Porter chased living jewels. The author of A Girl of the Limberlost here tells her true adventures raising and photographing the great moths of Indiana: lunas like drifting moonlight, cecropias hatching in her cabin, night vigils in the mysterious Limberlost. Part natural history, part memoir of obsession, it glows with wonder at creatures most people never see. Her moths made her famous; this book shows why. Follow the lantern into the swamp and meet them.
