This amazing book by Wendy Williams is about some of the most resilient creatures on our planet – butterflies, their role in our ecosystem and in the life of all humanity. Butterflies are one of our favorite insects. There are exhibitions and even entire butterfly gardens. This is one of those rare insects that we happily let into our lives. But what attracts us to these creatures? And how do their lives really work? This unique book by science journalist Wendy Williams tells about the secrets of “fluttering flowers” – creatures that are much smarter and more resilient than we usually think. Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles from Canada to Mexico every year. Other species of butterflies have learned to trick ants into taking care of them. Butterfly scales give scientists ideas for medical technologies that are destined to save lives. Williams talks about the habitats of butterflies around the world and introduces readers not only to different species of these insects, but also to the scientists who have dedicated their lives to studying them. Heartfelt, gripping and profound, this book will open the reader's eyes to the exceptional importance of butterflies in our world.
