You are invited to experience the life cycles of common backyard butterflies in this unique collection of hundreds of stunning, full-color, up-close photos, all taken in a live garden setting. Each butterfly is shown from start to maturity, with sequential photographs of the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and emerging butterfly . This richly visual guide to the life cycles of butterflies will appeal to wildlife enthusiasts, gardeners, teachers, and families alike. This book has earned two national awards from Learning Magazine -- (1) Teacher's Choice Award for "Children's Books" (2) Teacher's Choice Award for "Product of Excellence for the Family." Review: A Must Read for Butterfly Lovers - Recently planted a pollinator garden and have learned so much from this book about butterflies. Includes great photos -- from egg to the mature butterfly, including the caterpillar stages and chrysalis. Also provides the host and preferred nectar plant for each, along with a lot of other information related to range and identification. Review: I love this book - There aren't many books out there that feature quality photographs identifying butterflies and caterpillars by species. This book does that and more. Although it only features those species that occur in the region in which the authors live (Kentucky is their home state,) the book shows clear pictures of each life stage: egg, caterpillar in both early and late stages, chrysallis, and adult butterfly. Each species also has useful information listed in the text, such as known host plant(s) and favored nectar plants. There are also some additional species shown as adults in the back of the book for which the authors have yet to photo-document an entire life cycle. I have seen this listed as a children's book, and it would be appropriate for many children, but I find it quite beautiful and informative enough to be suitable for adults as well. I've been gardening for birds, butterflies and bees for years now. One of my successes was having Black Swallowtail caterpillars the very first year I grew dill for them. But when I bought this book I was able to locate and identify the tiny eggs, and observe the entire life cycle of this species. I live in the Mid-Atlantic region, and most of the butterflies profiled in the book also occur in my area. Some species profiled occur over most of the U.S.--like the Monarch and Painted Lady-- but some are more limited in range. If you live on the Pacific coast, for instance, you might not see many of these butterflies. The photos are still beautiful. The insects featured are still fascinating. And the format of the book is user-friendly. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #220,810 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in Biology of Butterflies #56 in Entomology (Books) #128 in Plant & Animal Photography | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 377 Reviews | ## Images ![The Life Cycles of Butterflies: From Egg to Maturity, a Visual Guide to 23 Common Garden Butterflies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Az9xE0VsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Read for Butterfly Lovers *by K***L on August 2, 2026* Recently planted a pollinator garden and have learned so much from this book about butterflies.

It provides life cycle information on butterflies and shows what the egg, caterpillar, and chrysalis look like for each species, as well as the adult butterfly. I am a Master Naturalist and work with butterflies frequently. I found this book to be invaluable in identifying butterflies in all their life stages. Your kids will love the pics, you’ll love the science and fun facts that go along with the photos. If you enjoy butterflies, this book is fabulous! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Life Cycles of Butterflies: From Egg to Maturity, a Visual Guide to 23 Common Garden Butterflies - Gardening for Butterflies: How You Can Attract and Protect Beautiful, Beneficial Insects - Butterflies of North America: of North America --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1741912-the-life-cycles-of-butterflies-from-egg-to-maturity-visual](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1741912-the-life-cycles-of-butterflies-from-egg-to-maturity-visual) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
