Some of the most vibrant colors and patterns in the Animal Kingdom are
found among butterflies. Gawdy swallowtails, exquisite gossamer-wings,
and a multitude of eye-catching brushfoots are particular standouts,
though plenty of whites, sulphurs, metalmarks, and skippers are also
adorned with splendid markings. Flowering plants across North America
attract some 700 butterfly species as well as thousands of moths, bees,
wasps, flies, and beetles, not to mention some hummingbirds and bats.
The portable reference is a handy tool for those wishing to deepen their
understanding of butterflies and other colorful pollinators. It features
beautiful illustrations of 70 familiar butterflies and moths as well as
some especially common larvae and pupae. Also included are notes on life
cycles and other common pollinators. Laminated for durability, this
lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific resource for
educators, learners, naturalists, and gardeners. Made in the USA.
