Product Description
Butterflies of the North Olympic Peninsula is a black and white illustrated identification guide covering the area of land in the most northwestern part of Washington State. Illustrations include adult, chrysalis, caterpillar and egg forms. Identification includes a written description of the adult, caterpillar, chrysalis and egg. Also included are habitat, flight time, behavior, and adult and caterpillar food sources.
Notes on some butterflies include particularly good places to see them or particular behavior. Also noted are those butterflies which are endemic to the Olympic Peninsula.
The area covered has the least number of butterfly species in the continental United States. A great deal of the land has been developed, further limiting the numbers of butterflies found. However, the Olympic National Park covers a large interior portion of the peninsula and is a pristine environment in which to observe and identify the local butterflies.
This book will be a good addition to a hiker's backpack, natural gardener's identification guides or anyone enjoying the natural beauty of the area and wanting to learn more about it.
