Lorenz Books Butterflies & Moths, The World Encyclopedia of: A natural history and identification guide to over 565 varieties around the globe

Bel libro lo regalerò a mio fratello che colleziona farfalle.Arrivato in anticipo !

Beautiful book filled with illustrations and so many varieties! I am not a specialist or knowledgeable at all on butterflies so I can't say if the information is accurate or relevant, but I was pleased to see both a section at the beginning about butterfly ''basics'' (anatomy, life cycles, feeding,...) and the rest of the book with specific varieties. I bought it as a reference book for art as I knew I would like to paint butterflies but I struggle to figure out which ones would fit better in my compositions. I would say this is perfect for this purpose as there's plenty enough varieties to look into and the colored illustrations are detailed enough to get accurate inspiration. I would say it's a ''quantity over depth'' kind of book as each variety has more or less half a page including the illustration, so the description can be pretty short. On a sidenote, most of the illustrations are drawings with the exception of actual photos for the ''basics'' section. I think I should mention this for people who are looking for photos only. However, I personally find the drawings to be very detailed and accurate enough for my own use. Gorgeous book to leave nearby for people to skim through as well! I would have loved it as a kid for sure.

I liked this book. teaches you about the different types of butterflies, with pictures.

El libro perfecto si eres amante de las mariposas, pero poco cuidado en el transporte dle mismo y llego golpeado por todos lados

Vale totalmente la pena
