The magnificent book of butterflies and moths
Taylor, Barbara, 1954-2024
Book
Take a journey through flower-filled meadows, dusky woodlands and steamy rainforests to find 36 magnificent butterflies and moths - from the delicate glasswing butterfly to the mighty Hercules moth. Find out which butterfly has the biggest wingspan and how the red cracker butterfly got its name. Learn how these insects undergo an amazing transformation, turning from a caterpillar into a butterfly or moth. Discover how eyespots on the wings of the peacock butterfly scare off predators, and why its bright colours send a message that it is poisonous to eat.
