Illustrations of Exotic Entomology, Volume 2
Dru Drury and John Obadiah Westwood
Beyond the butterflies lie moths and beetles just as strange and splendid. Dru Drury's second volume continues his survey of exotic insects, figuring forms like the ghostly Haetera and the great Erebus moth from distant lands. Meticulous plates and descriptions carry on a landmark work. For the entomologist and art lover who savor insects rendered with care. Turn the page to more marvels.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
