A beautifully illustrated introduction to the lives of butterflies
around the world There are more than fifteen thousand butterfly
species in the world, fluttering through a wide variety of
habitats. Bright and beautiful, butterflies also have fascinating
life histories and play an important role in our planet’s
ecosystems. The Lives of Butterflies showcases the extraordinary
range of colors and patterns of the world’s butterflies while
exploring their life histories, behavior, habitats and resources,
populations, seasonality, defense and natural enemies, and threats
and conservation. With remarkable photography, graphic
illustration, and profiles of thirty-five selected species, this
comprehensive and inviting book discusses dozens of key topics,
including eggs, caterpillars, and chrysalids; flight, feeding,
courtship, and mating; migration and hibernation; concealment,
mimicry, and predators; habitat loss and fragmentation, climate
change, and pesticides; and farming and gardening to support and
attract butterflies. With its stunning illustrations and clear,
up-to-date, and authoritative text, The Lives of Butterflies will
appeal to a wide range of butterfly and nature lovers.
