BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND WEIGHT, EXTRA POSTAGE MAY BE REQUIRED, DEPENDING ON YOUR ADDRESS. 11 ¾ x 8 ¼, 312 pages, 64 ounces XX [From the dust jacket flaps] BUTTERFLIES OF THE WORLD, by renowned lepidopterists Saverio Forestiero and Valerio Sbordoni, is the most comprehensive volume on the order. Not simply a listing of species accompanied by illustrations, this book offers a fresh approach for the layman. It places the members of the order within their specific eco-systems and explains how all the elements, flora and fauna, climate, altitude, predators, migratory habits, identify a species and explain its evolution. How does the climate affect the distribution of a species? Why does the population of a species vary over different areas or from one year to another? Why is one species, B. Polaris, seen in Norway, Alaska, and Manitoba only every other year? Each lavishly illustrated chapter discusses one aspect of the interrelationships of the world of butterflies: their evolution, life cycle, geographical distribution, demography and migrations, strategies against predators. For example, a study of the order's migratory behavior reveals fascinating variations among species: the most famous butterfly - the Monarch - migrates more than 1,500 miles, while some species do not move more than 2,000 feet during their whole lifespan. One of the most interesting discussions is of the butterflies' camouflage. Some butterflies are visible in flight but not at rest; some wings are marked to mimic the mottling of dried leaves; some have brilliant eyespot markings that confuse or intimidate predators. No matter where you live or where you are likely to visit, you will see butterflies, for the insect order Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) is one of the largest in the world. With its concise text and over 200 illustrations, including 125 color plates, BUTTERFLIES OF THE WORLD tells you everything you need to know to identify and understand 2,500 of the world's most entrancing species. …
