Postkartenbox 100 Schmetterlinge der Schweiz

The most beautiful butterflies of Switzerland, captured in the wild during the summer of 2014. Each postcard includes a brief description and the species name. Delight your friends by sending them a butterfly! It is estimated that there are over 250,000 butterfly species worldwide. The Swiss fauna is very diverse: more than 3,700 species live here, of which only just over 200 belong to the true day-flying butterflies. Among them are well-known butterflies such as the Swallowtail, the Lemon Butterfly, and the Peacock Butterfly. Butterflies fascinate not only because of their often magnificent colors and patterns but also due to their four stages of life as an egg, caterpillar, pupa, and butterfly. The card box presents a small selection of native butterflies from all regions of our country. The exclusively outdoor photographs by Bernhard Jost showcase day-flying butterflies, along with illustrations by Hans-Peter Wymann and a smaller number of night-flying moths. Authors: Hans-Peter Wymann, Bernhard Jost. 100 postcards, 11.5 x 17 x 6.5 cm, box. German/French. ISBN 978-3-03818-042-5. CHF 39.– | EUR 39.– 2nd edition 2023.
