Because so many enemies prey upon the large night moths in all
stages, they are nowhere sufficiently numerous to be pests, or
common enough to be given local names, as have the birds. I have
been compelled to use their scientific names to assist in
identification, and at times I have had to resort to technical terms,
because there were no other. Frequently I have written of them under
the names by which I knew them in childhood, or that we of Limberlost
Cabin have bestowed upon them.
There is a wide gulf between a Naturalist and a Nature Lover. A
Naturalist devotes his life to delving into stiff scientific
problems concerning everything in nature from her greatest to her
most minute forms. A Nature Lover works at any occupation and
finds recreation in being out of doors and appreciating the common
things of life as they appeal to his senses.
