How Does a Caterpillar Become a Butterfly?

“I’ve writ­ten lots of books about but­ter­flies, but it seems like I dis­cov­er some­thing new with each title. While research­ing this book, I learned a lot more about the amaz­ing assort­ment of defens­es cater­pil­lars and but­ter­flies have to pro­tect them­selves from ene­mies — from cam­ou­flage and eye­spots to mak­ing a big stink. To make sure I had the most up-to-date infor­ma­tion, I checked in with many of the sci­en­tists I’ve inter­viewed before and I also met a few new researchers along the way.”
