THE AUDUBON SOCIETY FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES by Robert M. Pyle

Description: *The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Butterflies *By Robert Michael Pyle *Published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York *2006, nineteenth printing *7 5/8" x 4" with 928 pages *Taken from the Introduction: Depicted in symbols and art since the Bronze Age, butterflies are among the most fascinating and beautiful animals. They live nearly everywhere - from gardens and mountains to acid bogs and arctic tundra. About 10,000 to 20,000 species occur worldwide; of these almost 700, including occasional strays are found in North America north of Mexico. If approached carefully, butterflies are easier to observe than birds, and their variety is much less complex than the bewildering array of wildflowers. Yet butterflies display a range of behavior as fascinating as that of birds, and all the colors and brilliance of flowers. The life cycle of butterflies is one of the fundamental miracles of nature. And the presence of various species can tell us much about our environment. This book is designed for everyone who wants to know how to identify butterflies in backyards, parks, and gardens, as well as in woods and fields. The combination of vivid color photographs and clear, nontechnical descriptions should make butterfly identification easy and enjoyable for all. Most guides to butterflies have been regional in scope or have limited their coverage to selected groups of butterflies. This is the first field guide to cover, in one volume, all the native and introduced butterflies found in North America north of Mexico, as well as many emigrants, strays, and the native butterfly fauna of the Hawaiian Islands. *This book is in excellent condition.
