pickAn intriguing hook for anyone interested in learning more about the trade and preservation of lepidoptera, specifically butterflies, from poaching and Fish and Wildlife special agents to fueds between conservationists and governments. The title and into definitely play up the stakes, but there is definitely more to it than I ever realized. And for anybody with an interest--but little knowledge like me-- it's an interesting and well written read.
Learning about lepidoptera with coffee and a blueberry muffin this morning
Out in the sunshine reading this book while at work. The author is a journalist who jokingly said he would only write about butterflies and flowers after his stint in Iraq. He then finds out the illegal trade including black market butterflies and destroyed ecosystems. Sounds good.
