The ultimate reference guide to all species of butterflies in North America. Get to know these delicately serene creatures inThe Complete Book of North American Butterflies, a fascinating book filled with stunning full-color photographs and interesting facts. * Includes an entire chapter devoted to the resilient migrating Monarch. With its vibrant orange and black markings, it is possibly the most recognizable of all butterflies. * Explores the phenomenon of mimicry, a survival mechanism butterflies use to trick predators into thinking they are inedible--or perhaps an entirely different organism all together! * Migration is essential to the survival of butterflies. Learn about migration patterns, how butterflies source food and distribution of different species throughout the U.S. * Includes information on average life cycles (anywhere from 4 days to nearly one year) and the largest of all U.S. species (the Giant Swallowtail--its wingspan can be four to six inches). * Comprehensive guide features some of the most easily recognized butterflies from coast to coast. * Filled with full-color photographs showing butterflies in extraordinary detail.

The American artist and naturalist Titian Ramsay Peale II (1799-1885) had a passion for butterflies, and throughout his long life he wrote and illustrated an ambitious and comprehensive manuscript. The book, along with a companion volume on caterpillars, was never published, and it resides today in the Rare Book Collection of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Now Peale's color plates, lovingly prepared for the printer by the artist more than 100 years ago, will be published for the first time in this beautiful volume. At last, Peale's life work, equivalent in scope and beauty to Audubon's Birds of North America, will be available to a wide audience. The book includes a foreword by Ellen V. Futter and text by Kenneth Haltman and David A. Grimaldi that describes the art and science Peale brought to his extraordinary work. Also see: The Butterflies of Titian Ramsay Peale Notecards (978-1-4197-1806-9), The Butterflies of Titian Ramsay Peale Journal (978-1-4197-1805-2), and The Butterflies of Titian Ramsay Peale 2016 Wall Calendar (978-1-4197-1754-3)

"Many caterpillars are illustrated here for the first time. Dozens of new foodplant records are presented and erroneous records are corrected. The book provides considerable information on the distribution, biology, and taxonomy of caterpillars beyond that available in other popular works on Eastern butterflies and moths. The introductory chapter covers caterpillar structure, life cycles, rearing, natural enemies, photography, and conservation. The section titled "Caterpillar Projects" will be of special interest to educators." "Given the dearth of accessible guides on the identification and natural history of caterpillars, Caterpillars of Eastern North America is a must for entomologists and museum curators, forest managers, conservation biologists and others who seek a compact, easy-to-use guide to the caterpillars of this vast region."--BOOK JACKET.
