Description: With his lifelong fascination with butterflies, America's best-known lepidopterist set himself an irresistible challenge: how many of the 800 species of butterflies known in the US could he track down in a single year? This title is a part road-trip tale, part travelogue, and part memoir of people and species the author encountered along the way.
