The Little Book of Butterflies by Andrei and Alexandra Sourakov

Designed and illustrated like a fairy tale book, yet filled with pages upon pages of the physiology, evolution, life history, and more of butterflies across the world, this aptly named book is both a guide and a glimpse into the cultural significance, incredible adaptations, and the importance of butterfly biodiversity and conservation. With lovely, colored illustrations and stunning macro photography, this book’s chapters cover everything from butterflies in art and mythology to the impacts of monoculture agriculture to how their ears are on their wings.
