Flowers Butterflies and Insects.......2000-07-17

I bought this book to use as clip art for graphic design projects. I was pleased to see that there were many "usable" insect representations. Unfortuantely, there were fewer pieces of "usable" flower art (for my project anyway) because most of the leaves have been eaten by the insects!
