caring about irrelevant big ideas and being caring about the little things, people begin to see things from a new light. Many authors, such as Virginia Woolf, have help remind humans to stop and appreciate the little things in life.

The Biology of the Clothing Moth. Eggs hatch into larvae, which then begin to feed. Once they get their fill, they pupate and undergo metamorphosis to emerge as adults. Adults do not eat: male adults look for females and adult females look for places to lay eggs. Once their job is done, they die.

You've never taken a bath with a dead person? Well then you might be a little surprised by how things unfurl in Helena Maria Viramontes' 1985 short story "The Moths," a story about a youthful Latina girl who feels at odds with pretty much everybody in her family except her cherished Abuelita.

changes to our universe by teaching up to value our environment. Ecocriticism is using literature to teach us about environmental consequences and give us possible solutions. The novels Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson, The Lorax, by Dr Seuss, and Moths of the Limberlost, by Gene Stratton Porter, were all literary examples of ecocriticism and greatly influenced their readers’ views on the environment.
