The egg. The larva. The pupa. The adult butterfly. The complex life cycle of a butterfly occurs in four separate stages and what once was a colorless, wormlike caterpillar is miraculously transformed into one of the most beautiful insects in the world.
You can witness an endless array of winged beauty from Asia, Africa, and the Americas, thanks to celebrated photographer Harold Feinstein whose noted works are represented in collections at major museums and in numerous periodicals.
Feinstein is the author of “One Hundred Butterflies,” which offers a unique look at these stunning insects through 100 colorful photographs. Scientists estimate that there are approximately 12,000 to 15,000 species which leaves room for 14,900 more beautiful creations.
Ideal as a gift or an excellent visual tool for any classroom project, “One Hundred Butterflies” proves there’s much to learn about the wondrous butterfly. For example, did you know that butterflies play an important role as pollinators? Can you identify the Ruddy Daggerwing? The Blue Diadem? The Jungle Queen?
This unique, coffee table-style book will definitely spend more time in the hands of readers.
