BUY SUSTY: Butterfly – Photography by Thomas Marent

Publisher Comments:

This visual gallery of butterflies provides an extraordinary collection of images of these elusive and difficult-to-photograph creatures. Breathtakingly detailed photography allows you to experience the butterflies in a variety of habitats, from northern woodlands to tropical rainforests. Along the way the author provides a host of fascinating information about species and life cycles.

Thomas Marent, author of Rainforest (2006), started photographing natural history subjects, particularly birds and butterflies, in the mountains of his native Switzerland. He has dedicated nearly half of his life to recording butterflies across five continents.

Book News Annotation:

Natural history photographer Marent shows off his colorful collection of butterfly trophies in the form of close-up photographs, rather than pinned butterflies in a box. In addition to providing a vivid portrait of the diversity of butterflies, the volume also offers information on the biology, life-cycle, and survival strategies of the various species of butterfly. It therefore also includes many photographs of butterfly eggs, caterpillars, and pupas, in addition to the photographs of adult butterflies.
