Download or read book Butterflies of Delmarva written by Elton N. Woodbury and published by Cornell Maritime Press/Tidewater Publishers. This book was released on 1994 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Dr Elton N Woodbury had a fascination for butterflies ever since, as a preschooler, he and a friend encouraged the friend's younger sister to sample a yellow sulphur butterfly -- hoping to discover whether it tasted buttery. The toddler ran screaming to her mother, and despite being punished, young Elton developed his interest into a lifelong study. The result is a first-ever field guide to butterflies that occur naturally on the Delmarva Peninsula. All sixty-one adult butterfly species found in the area are included in the guide, which is beautifully illustrated with 132 photographs by the author. Differences in colour or wing patterns between the sexes are also illustrated to aid in identification. The species accounts that form the bulk of the book include a description of the adult butterfly, the larva, and the egg, information on the food sources, habitat, and range of each butterfly. Anatomy, metamorphosis, habitats, enemies, longevity, mimicry, and migration of butterflies in general are investigated in a chapter on the natural history of the butterfly. Dr Woodbury has shared his hints for photographing butterflies and attracting them to your garden, and his appreciation for the important place of these creatures in our environment.
