Butterflies of the World 蝴蝶世界 下载 mobi 免费 pdf 百度网盘 epub 2025 在线 电子书

One in every 10 insects is a butterfly or moth, and everyone in the world can recognize a member of the family Lepidoptera. Easy to view because of their often colorful wings and day-flying habits, the butterflies are more popular than their mostly night-flying moth kin but are far outnumbered by the moths. The diversity of colors and habits of butterflies and moths are highlighted in this beautiful new book featuring Martin's exquisite close-up photography. Photos reveal the uncoiled proboscis of the tropical queen swallowtail as it sips from damp sand, the plump underside of a chartreuse moth caterpillar as it rears up to confront the photographer, the thick "fur" and brushy antennae of a moon moth, and the mosaic of color in masses of resting monarch butterflies. Science writer Baran's text provides a wealth of detail on the ecology, anatomy, behavior, and life cycle of lepidopterans in succinct sections interspersed among Martin's photos. Although the text takes this beyond a coffee-table book, it is the beautiful photographs that will sell the book to libraries and readers. Nancy Bent

Butterflies are among the planet's most majestic creatures, their delicate forms sprinkled with brilliant color and rich with texture. More than 200,000 kinds of butterfly and caterpillar have been spotted around the world-that's one in every ten insects. Photographer Gilles Martin brings this extraordinary slice of nature to the page in this gorgeous volume. Martin captures butterflies in spectacular images, while photographs of caterpillars and their metamorphoses invite readers to explore the vast diversity of the species. The pictures are complemented by text from animal behaviorist and nature expert Myriam Baran, who tells would-be lepidopterists everything they need to know about these animals. From the recognizable Monarch to lesser-known types, Butterflies of the World gives readers an all-around look at this magnificent insect.
