商品簡介
This 430 page reference guide with color glossy photographs of butterflies from the Cascadia region (all of Washington, northern half of Oregon, southern parts of British Columbia and northwestern Idaho) in their larval, caterpillar and winged stages is an invaluable reference for scientists, lepidopterists, and other butterfly enthusiasts. In the first 60 pages, authors James and Nunnalee, provide common information about the life of a butterfly, its habitats, defense, natural enemies and strategies, as well as the fieldwork that went into the study. The two pages of butterfly egg photographs show just how uniquely different each of the species are from one another. The authors give advice on how to use the book and then uniformly set out each chapter into sections on adult biology, immature stage biology, a description of immature stages, and a discussion.
