At the biological crossroads of the Americas, Costa Rica hosts
an astonishing array of plants and animals--over half a million
species Ecotourists, birders, and biologists come from around the
world, drawn by the likelihood of seeing more than three or four
hundred species of birds and other animals during even a short
stay. To help all these visitors, as well as local residents,
identify and enjoy the wildlife of Costa Rica, Carrol Henderson
published Field Guide to the Wildlife of Costa Rica in 2002, and it
instantly became the indispensable guide.
Now Henderson has created a dedicated field guide to more than
one hundred tropical butterflies, moths, and other invertebrates
that travelers are most likely to see while exploring the wild
lands of Costa Rica. He includes fascinating information on their
natural history, ecology, identification, and behavior gleaned from
his forty years of travels and wildlife viewing, as well as details
on where to see these remarkable and beautiful creatures. The
butterflies, moths, and other invertebrates are illustrated by over
180 stunning and colorful photographs--most of which were taken in
the wild by Henderson. A detailed and invaluable appendix that
identifies many of Costa Rica's best wildlife-watching
destinations, lodges, and contact information for trip-planning
purposes completes the volume.
