Description
|
|
|
|
Featuring nearly 100 stunning images from acclaimed wildlife photographer Ingo Arndt, the first half of this beautifully illustrated volume documents the migration of the monarch butterfly from the northeastern U.S. and southern Canada to the Oyamel fir forests in Mexico 2,000 miles away. Ecologist Claus-Peter Lieckfeld and butterfly expert Peter Huemer explain the latest research on migration and describe in detail the transformation from caterpillar to colorfully resplendent butterfly. The book's second half explores the great diversity of butterfly form, color, and pattern and intimately examines the details of their astonishing metamorphosis.
