合衆国の蝶 vol 1

This book is in Japanese. From coastal cliffs to sunlit deserts and forested mountain trails this richly illustrated field journal chronicles a personal journey across the western United States in search of butterflies and the hidden stories they tell.Over the course of thousands of kilometers the author observes photographs and sometimes rears butterflies to better understand their behaviors habitats and remarkable adaptations. The result is a unique blend of vivid imagery field notes and reflective commentary that captures not just the beauty of these insects but also their deep connection to climate geography and plant life.Why does this butterfly live here-and not there? What can its presence tell us about the land it inhabits? These are some of the questions that guide the narrative. Rather than a scientific monograph this is a personal and exploratory work-part travelogue part nature study-that invites readers to slow down observe and ask questions of their own.A must-have for butterfly enthusiasts naturalists and anyone drawn to the art of looking closely at the living world.
