With their beautiful wing patterns and colours butterflies
immediately catch our attention. Of all creatures, they exemplify
metamorphosis with the creeping caterpillar transforming into a
soaring butterfly. But they have also come to be creatures of
science, revealing much to biologists about evolution and the
ecological processes and historical accidents that have generated
the diversity of life on Earth.In Butterflies leading expert Dick
Vane-Wright provides a complete introduction to the biology,
natural history and classification of this major group. Using
examples from around the world and eye-catching photographs, he
explores what it means to be a butterfly, from how the yellow
birdwing finds a mate to why the African gaudy commodores produce
adults of different colours.Fully revised and updated with new
photographs and the latest reserach, this reformatted edition
offers an overview of the biology and diversity of the major group
of day-flying Lepidoptera.
