Life Histories of Cascadia Butterflies

[David James]

If you are interested in butterfly life histories I think you'll want to see "Life Histories of Cascadia Butterflies"...............

"For the first time in the world, the life histories of the entire butterfly fauna of a geographic region are presented in riveting photographic detail. The book's 448 pages contain more than 1500 superb high definition color photographs of all stages (including all instars) of 158 species/subspecies. In addition it features extensive narratives on the biology and ecology of butterfly eggs, larvae and pupae in the North American Pacific Northwest with considerable new information.

Life Histories of Cascadia Butterflies by David G James and David Nunnallee will appeal to naturalists, hikers, amateur entomologists, butterfly gardeners, conservationists, students, and general readers of natural history. For scientists and dedicated lepidopterists, the book provides an unparalleled resource on the natural history of immature stages of butterflies in the Pacific Northwest--and beyond, as many of Cascadia's butterflies occur in other parts of North America as well as Europe and Asia. 

Here is what noted author and butterfly expert Robert M Pyle has to say about the book:

"The publication of James and Nunnallee, or 'the Daves' as we know them, is a matter for unreserved celebration, not only for lepidopterists and nature lovers of all stripes, but for anyone who cares about our butterflies' lives, futures, conservation management, and the plants with which they have co-evolved." 

The book is available for ordering from OSU Press http://osupress.oregonstate.edu/book/life-histories-of-cascadia-butterflies  who currently show a shipping date of November 21
