Book Synopsis
Biologist Michael Collins has been studying wild silk moths since he was a boy. This book is Collins' account of his development as a scientist and of his research. It explains how hybrid populations serve as laboratories in nature where the process of speciation can be observed and studied.

Trade Review
"This book is a primer on the biogeography of the western United States and the history of modern species concepts thinly veiled under the auspices of an autobiography. Collins's passion for natural history exudes from every page....I view this work as similar to E.O. Wilson's Naturalist or other books in which the study of science is interwoven with autobiographic aspects of the author's life." - John Brown, Smithsonian Institution "This book is a compelling and delightful read, instructional on a part of evolutionary biology too little known or discussed." - Robert Michael Pyle"
