Butterflies of British Columbia - Hardcover
Butterflies of British Columbia provides butterfly watchers, naturalists, and the professional biologist with an overview of the fascinating butterfly fauna of British Columbia and adjacent areas. It covers 216 species, about one-third of the resident, breeding butterfly species in the United States and Canada.
An extensive general introduction to the study of butterflies includes the history of butterfly study, post-glacial colonization by butterflies, the effects of European colonization on the fauna, butterfly conservation, butterfly gardening, ecology, morphology, biology, and behavior. Each species treatment includes maps of the northwestern North American distribution, color photographs of adults of all species and subspecies, and flight season graphs. The meanings of both scientific and common names are given. Distribution maps are provided for additional species and subspecies that occur in areas adjacent to British Columbia, including Washington, northern Idaho, northwest Montana, western Alberta, and southern Yukon.
