It is hard to remember the time when fields and meadows were full of these beautiful, delicate creatures – today we rarely catch a glimpse of the Wild Cherry Sphinx moths, Duke of Burgundy, or the even once common Small Tortoiseshell butterflies. The High Brown Fritillary butterfly and the Stout Dart Moth have virtually disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe eminent entomologist and award-winning author Josef H. Reichholf began studying butterflies in the late 1950s. He brings a lifetime of scientific experience and expertise to bear on one of the great environmental catastrophes of our time. He takes us on a journey into the wonderful world of butterflies - from the small nymphs that emerge from lakes in air bubbles to the trusting purple emperors drunk on toad poison - and immerses us in a world that we are in danger of losing forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStep by step, he explains the science behind this impending ecological disaster and shows how it is linked to pesticides, over-fertilisation, and the intensive farming practices of the agribusiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis book, \u003cem\u003eThe Disappearance of Butterflies\u003c\/em\u003e, is a passionate plea for biodiversity and the protection of butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854929645804,"sku":"9781509539796","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/b794b5a7a3f44255846cd203044600b2.jpg?v=1759263070"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/josef-h-reichholf.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
