The Pocket Butterflies

Description:

The first butterfly cracked out of its cocoon and fluttered its way through the sky more than 200 million years ago. For centuries, they have flown through forests, landed on flowers and dazzled with their beautifully coloured wings.

These beautiful bugs are extremely symbolic, and they have been for centuries. Native Americans saw the butterfly as a powerful reminder of rebirth, transformation and hope. An ocean away in China, butterflies not only represent freedom and love, but sometimes the human soul itself.

Perhaps you see some of these same symbols when a butterfly flutters by you. Or maybe these insects have taken on a different, important meaning for you, representing a loved one or a season you'll never forget. It could also be that you just think they're pretty and love seeing them flit through your garden!

This book is for every butterfly lover. It's an A-to-Z of the butterflies you might see in your corner of the world, but it's also an exploration of their lives in the skies, how to attract them to your garden, and why they're more than just a pretty pair of wings - yes, these insects serve a grand purpose in your local ecosystem, too!
