The Leeward Dutch Antilles are best known for their arid landscapes of statuesque cacti, rugged rock formations and teeming coral reefs. To this can now be added the surprisingly diverse and colourful butterfly fauna.
With full colour photographs of 78 species of butterflies and moths Butterflies and Moths of Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire provides extensive coverage of the species most commonly encountered in the Dutch ABC; three islands which lie basking in the breezy southern Caribbean Sea. Practically all species covered range more widely throughout the West Indies and South America. In addition to being of interest to West Indian conservationists and scientists, the book will be of great general interest to island residents and visitors.
This is the second edition of a book originally published in 2004 by Caribbean Research and Management of Biodiversity (CARMABI).
