A favorite subject of kids, nature lovers, scientists, and
collectors, Butterflies takes full advantage of Fandex''s unique
full-color die-cut format to celebrate 50 butterfly species, from
the enormous Queen Alexandra Birdwing, with its 11-inch wingspan,
to the Blue Morpho, whose stunning metallic-blue color is caused by
tiny prisms in its wings. Each entry includes the Latin name,
range, plants used for laying eggs and drinking nectar, migration
and mating habits, and how to recognize the species in its
caterpillar, pupa, and adult stages. Includes 50 die-cut cards.
