Experience and explore leps

Today I completed my delivery of 56 pictures of butterflies and moths to be printed in the brand new Norwegian book "Opplev og utforsk sommerfugler" ("Experience and explore butterflies and moths"). It is written by Lars-Jørgen Natvig and published by Ørn forlag.

The book covers most aspects in the life cycle of a butterfly or moth, as well as being detailed in describing preparing and collection, trapping methods and step by step instructions on building traps. A book both for the enthusiast and the beginner.

It was sent for printing today, but is already possible to pre-order from this webshop. Some of my pictures have previously been published in my galleries, and here are six of the featured ones. Click to view large.

Oystercatchers gettin' off

8/4/2013

Finally a sign of spring! With the cold weather and snow in the air, most of nature is standing still at the moment in western Norway. These two Oystercatchers do not seem to mind subzero conditions when performing their act of love. Black and white is obviously dynamite these days - even in Bergen ;-)
The Oystercatcher webcam: tjeld.uib.no
We have transferred live from an Oystercatcher nest on the roof of the Science building in Bergen, western Norway since 2005. If the couple nest here this year as well, you can follow the couple through May at tjeld.uib.no. Stay tuned!
