The Oregon State Arthropod Collection in Covallis, Oregon generously loaned the moth specimens represented in this book; Christopher Marshall, curator and collection manager, and Paul Hammond provided much valuable expertise. Thirty-two etchings were drawn from the specimens onto copper, etched, and printed by Sarah Horowitz at Atelier Mars. The custom paper was hand made by Katie MacGregor specifically for this book.
