An editor should have blue-penciled the surplus, no matter how interesting some of it is. Pyle, who has co-edited a collection of Vladimir Nabokov's writings on butterflies, can get carried away on flights of lyricism, but when he's not trying to out-Nabokov Nabokov, he can be quite moving, as in this description of female monarchs at the end of a northward migration...."Pyle, Robert Michael is the author of 'Chasing Monarchs Migrating With the Butterflies of Passage' with ISBN 9780618127436 and ISBN 0618127437.
