(Library Binding)
Discusses the life cycle, behavior patterns, and habitats of the exotic beauties of the insect world that undergo a miraculous transformation before earning their wings.
Perhaps it's because of names like Purple Moonbeam, Monarch, and Tailed Emperor that butterflies seem so different from other bugs. And maybe it's the dual focus on serenity and science that makes this latest entry in the "Nature Close-Ups" series such a delight. The print is large and so are the stunning color photographs. No portion of butterfly life is omitted from the narrative description. The butterfly life cycle is explored as are its life stages, feeding habits, defenses, reproduction, and life span. There's lots of factual information presented here, but the tone is conversational and respectful; and readers of all ages will be informed and charmed.
