Product Description
Author: Robert Michael Pyle. Part road-trip tale, part travelogue, all good-natured natural history, Pyle recounts his journey across the United States as he races against the calendar in his search for as many of the eight hundred species of American butterflies as he can find. From the California coastline in company with overwintering monarchs to the far northern tundra in pursuit of mysterious sulphurs and arctics, from Graceland to ranchland and Kauai to Key West, these intimate encounters with the land, its people, and its fading fauna are wholly original.
