Butterflies Calendar - 1999 (Calendar, illustrated edition)

With delicate yet colorful wings that rival the finest Tiffany creations, behold the butterfly. Marveled at and admired throughout history, immortalized in ancient Egyptian tombs and celebrated in paintings, architecture, tapestry and decorative glass, butterflies capture the human imagination. These ephemeral creatures are christened with names that convey the unrivaled grace of weightless flight -- painted lady, monarch, tree nymph and swallowtail. Yet, as their mysterious metamorphosis, deceptive eyespots, Herculean migrations and hidden lethal toxins prove, there's more to these beauties than meets the eye. Explore the diversity of wildlife imitating art in "Butterflies 1999", and bask in summer sunlight all year long.
