The Hand of Nature: Butterflies, Beetles, and Dragonflies

Based on the meticulously preserved and extensive insect collection of Jacques Kerchache comes this handsome volume. Within these pages are butterflies, beetles and dragonflies such as one could never dream of encountering in one's own backyard. The isolating and saturated color photographs of Gries perfectly convey the beauty and otherworldliness of these delicate creatures. A thoroughly engrossing book for those who know the joy of walking slowly through the world of nature.
