The iridescent beauty of the butterfly has never been captured more magnificently than in this book. Particularly dramatic are the enlargements of butterfly wings, "veritable fireworks of intense structural coloration," which spread across many of these pages like brilliant abstract paintings. Included are rare and popular species from different parts of the world, photographed in their natural surroundings. Includes an Index.
