This stunning photographic guide will have butterfly enthusiasts of all ages aflutter. Judy Burris and Wayne Richards include more than 400 full-color, up-close images that present the life cycles of 23 common North American butterflies in amazing detail. Watch caterpillars hatch from eggs, eat and grow, form into chrysalides, emerge as colorful butterflies, and fly through the air. You’ll also learn which plants butterflies avoid and which native species they’re attracted to, so you can create your own backyard butterfly haven.
Featuring sequential photographs of the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and emerging butterfly, this work looks at the butterfly transformations. It explores the life cycles of 22 common butterflies, and covers caterpillar behaviour, changes in the chrysalis as the wing pattern emerges, open- and closed-wing shots, and the colour variations.
