The Dangerous World of Butterflies by Peter Laufer

From there he stumbled into a theater of intrigue full of strange and nefarious characters - all in pursuit of one of nature's most delicate creatures. Set in locales throughout the World, this fascinating book takes us into a behind-the-scenes world sure to alter our view the next time we delight in the colorful fluttering of butterflies in our yards.Peter Laufer is the inaugural James Wallace Chair in Journalism at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, where he was honored with the Marshall Award for innovative teaching.
