We are naturalists Judy Burris and Wayne Richards, a sister-brother author and photographer team. We have been intrigued with butterflies since we were children. We were raised to have a strong respect for the natural world and always enjoyed spending time on hiking trails looking for animals and trying to identify the trees, wildflowers and insects that we saw. As adults, this childhood interest in animal and plant life has translated into a nearly full-time devotion to gardening specifically to support butterflies in every stage of their development, (egg - caterpillar - chrysalis - butterfly). We have spent many years observing, hand-raising, and photographing these miraculous creatures in our own backyard butterfly gardens. We live in northern Kentucky just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. We enjoy teaching others about flower gardening, nature photography and butterfly life cycles. We encourage everyone to give more serious thought to natural habitat conservation and responsible, chemical-free management of their own backyards to support native flora and fauna for future generations to enjoy. Our first book, The Life Cycles of Butterflies won two Teacher's Choice awards. Over the years we also documented the life cycles of many other insects including lightning bugs, giant silk moths, ladybugs, lace wings, praying mantis, and others so we decided to write a book about those. Our second book, The Secret Lives of Backyard Bugs won the National Outdoor Book Award (NOBA) and also a Teacher's Choice award. Our third book is called Nature's Notes and has also won five different national and international awards. Our fourth book is self-published and called A World Without Butterflies, an easy to understand guide for growing your own pollinator garden. Our fifth book is Butterflies of North America, where you can explore the life histories of more than 50 species of butterflies and their caterpillars found in the United States. |
