In this case, the Brenton Blue is a pollinator for its food plant, Indigo (scientific name Indigofera erecta). When the butterfly lands on the plant to feast on the nectar…

His book ‘’ Ecology without Nature’’ is very interesting and enjoyable because, in it , he used occasionally irreverent style and embrace of kitsch which lends charm to his book but there is also technical terminology which is not easy to understand as a result of its slow down the readers .
