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.
