Book Description
This visual gallery of butterflies provides an extraordinary collection of images of these elusive and difficult-to-photograph creatures. Breathtakingly detailed photography allows you to experience the butterflies in a variety of habitats, from northern woodlands to tropical rainforests. Along the way the author provides a host of fascinating information about species and life cycles.
Thomas Marent, author of Rainforest (2006), started photographing natural history subjects, particularly birds and butterflies, in the mountains of his native Switzerland. He has dedicated nearly half of his life to recording butterflies across five continents.

Another DK visual tour de force April 9, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
DK has done it again! I have been very pleased with their recent large nature pictorial books such as Rain Forest and Reef. This book is right up there with the others. It contains hundreds of stunning photos with just enough explanatory text to fascinate. This book is a bargain even at list price. At the Amazon price it's a steal. Anyone remotely interested in butterflies and moths will treasure this book. I eagerly await whatever their next endeavor will be.

The only way to fully experience this book is to open it, and gaze into the image of the butterflies in flight (front and backpiece, mentally step in, and smile. Click...
