Product 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.

I got my copy yesterday,and am very pleased.Its not only a book about butterflies,it is a book about life stages of this insect.some of the photography is so sculptural in nature,highly detailed and just plain lovely.The colors in the images are very enhanced,but not exaggerated.I was very pleased.
I quilt,and make art objects for my own pleasure.
hmmmI have never made a soft sculptured caterpillar (YET!)
Another DK visual tour de force April 9, 2008

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.
Butterfly---Brilliant April 1, 2008

Visual feasts are so rare in books today. Just like "Rainforest" before, "Butterfly" is exceedingly beautiful! Packed with over 500 carefuly selected photographs, Marent gives 'readers' a look in to the complex life of the average Butterfly. From north to south and back, we are invited along the world tour, and are blessed. 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...
