Butterflies and moths hold an enduring fascination for their
unusual life cycle, as they change from one creature into another.
Butterflies is an outstanding collection of photographs showcasing
nature's most beautiful and often elusive butterflies and moths -
members of the Lepidoptera order - in the variety of their natural
habitats. With 17,500 species of butterfly and 160,000 species of
moth in the world today, they can be found on every continent apart
from Antarctica, and in every nation. Arranged in chapters covering
some of the most beautiful and interesting types of butterfly and
moth, their habitats, their transition from egg to caterpillar and
from chrysalid to adult, as well as their behaviour, the book
reveals little-known facts about their life cycle, anatomy,
self-defence mechanisms, feeding and migration. For example, did
you know that while caterpillars chew their solid food, adult
butterflies can only consume liquid, and some moths do not even
have mouths? Or that many species can taste with their feet? With
full captions explaining how the species breeds, feeds, and changes
from caterpillar to the animal kingdom's most stunning member,
Butterflies is a brilliant examination in more than 200 outstanding
colour photographs of these fascinating insects.
