A World Of ButterfliesJune 8, 2011FIRST: This is a small but thick book. It is approx. 6 1/4 inches wide, a little over 4 1/2 inches tall. It has 420 pages. Therefore, it would fit in a purse or backpack.----- AND: it is a book on butterflies of the world & can therefore be a good resource book for many countries...........WHAT THIS BOOK DOES COVER:Parts of the butterfly (good pix, good description of said part)Butterfly life cycleMigration, Food, Reproduction, Puddling, & moreI agree with the other reviewers that the pix are beautiful. However, the book seemed to have no organization or was haphazardly organized. The butterflies of different countries are located all over this book. I recognize this is because many butterfly habitats overlap. However, I do believe that this could have been organized better, thus facilitating the observer's ease in identification. There is an excellent index in the back for locating specific butterflies --- but one must know the name first. Since many butterflies share similar colors, flipping through the book for colors takes time but eventually will pay off.The information on the specific butterfly is categorized on the opposite page of the 4" X 6" pix: Habitat, Wingspan, Description, Range. Sadly, this information is not located in the same area on each page therefore requiring extra time for the observer to locate. As we know, butterflies do not stay in one place very long so speed in identification is essential.OVERALL: I found this to be an interesting book for resource purposes.
