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 colorful butterfly fauna.
With full color 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.
