Bible Land Butterflies and Moths by Yitzhak Eisenstein

This book, on butterflies in the lands of the Bible, combines both biology and a study of the fauna. Its first chapters address butterflies as butterflies-as whole organisms that interact with the plants upon which they feed, with the mates whom they court, with the predators whom they deceive by mimicry and with harsh environmental conditions, which they escape by their long-distance migrations. Further chapters illustrate and describe the 100 common species-their eggs, caterpillars (and feeding habits), pupae, adults and natural enemies. -From Foreword to English Edition.
