Everyone enjoys seeing butterflies flitting about on a summer day, but few realize that many species are endangered. Without help, nine out of ten caterpillars won't survive to become butterflies. The 'grandfather of butterfly farming', Rick Mikula, wants to improve these odds. In The Family Butterfly Book, Rick shares his vast knowledge, contagious enthusiasm, and deep respect for these fascinating creatures. Though many of us know that caterpillars turn into butterflies, Rick explains the transformation from start to finish and reveals where each stage can be found in the wilds of our own backyards. With the help of stunning color photographs and detailed illustrations, Rick explains how to attract, catch, handle, raise, and support butterflies and how to make habitats for butterflies that include basking sites, water sources, and shelter. Readers will also learn how to hand-feed a butterfly, have a live-butterfly tree, and more. With vital facts, how-to projects, and intriguing discussions of butterfly behavior and lore, The Family Butterfly Book is sure to amaze and inspire readers of all ages. Hardcover, 166 pages.
