<p><b>An expansive and awe-inspiring visual survey celebrating the stunning beauty of butterflies and moths across art, history, science, and culture</b></p><p><b> 'Tap[s] into the myriad ways in which these marvelous bugs pollinate not only our fragile ecosystems but our imaginations, too.' - <i>Colossal</i></b></p><p><b><b> A BEST ART BOOK OF THE YEAR: </b><i><b> <i>Christian Science Monitor</i></b></i></b></p><p>Butterflies have enchanted people for thousands of years, capturing human imagination for so long that they are deeply entwined in our culture and history. <i>Butterfly: Exploring the World of Lepidoptera</i> delves into this enduring love for butterflies, moths, and caterpillars, taking readers on a journey across continents and cultures to discover the endless ways artists and image-makers throughout history, from ancient Egypt over 4,000 years ago to the present day, have been inspired by these ethereal insects.</p><p>Featuring more than 250 entries, each represented with a gorgeous large-scale image, this expansive visual survey spans a wide range of styles and media, including paintings, botanical illustrations, sculptures, nature photography, children's books, textiles, and jewelry.</p><p>Cleverly paired to highlight thought-provoking contrasts and similarities between them, regardless of the time period, the images showcase butterflies and moths - from the blue morpho and monarch to the death's-head hawkmoth - in all stages of their life cycles.</p><p>The vibrant colors in Eric Carle's childhood classic <i>The Very Hungry Caterpillar</i> complement the playfulness of a butterfly-filled collage by British Pop Artist Peter Blake, while the shape of the goddess Obsidian Butterfly, carved into stone in fourteenth-century Mexico, matches perfectly that of a falling moth, captured in a beautiful black and white photograph by Japanese artist Chuji Yasui.</p><p><b>Artists featured include:</b> María Berrio, Peter Blake, Lee Bontecou, Alexander Calder,
