About Costa Rica Butterflies & Moths: An Introduction To
Product Description With one of the highest bio diversities in the world, Costa Rica has about over 1,200 species of butterflies and at least 8,000 species of moths inhabiting its diverse ecosystems. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 70 familiar and unique species and includes information on their life cycle and features illustrations of common caterpillars and pupae. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, pocket-sized folding guide is an excellent source of portable information and ideal for field use by eco-tourists of all ages. Made in the USA. www.waterfordpress.com Review “Waterford Press offers . . . different titles such as Backyard Birds and Birds of Prey . . . although these contain only simple listings of the most common types in your area, it’s amazing how many species they pack into these inexpensive heavy duty cards. An added benefit is that they can be folded to create a book-like spine for easy display.” -- Birding Business, Trends in Books “There are dozens of these stunningly illustrated pocket guides to nature. They easily fit in a shirt pocket with space left for note paper and pen. While you won’t want to discard your bulky bird, flower, tree, etc. books, these are ideal casual identification guides. In addition to the illustrations, there is enough descriptive material on each species to key in on and then follow- up when it is convenient to scour the books for greater details and confirmation. If we ran a store that catered to outdoor enthusiasts, we’d sure have some of these in the rack.” -- Shep, Bookshelf “Nature lovers may want to look into an expanding series of pocket guides form Waterford Press. The Pocket naturalist series has something for everyone’s backyard. The laminated foldouts feature p to 150 items per guide on topics such as urban wildlife, backyard, birds, pond life, the night sky, and wildflowers.
