	NATURAL HABITATS OF ORANGE COUNTY
		Everyone knows what a butterfly is when he or she sees one and most people could identify many butterflies to species by utilizing appropriate color pictures.
		Although all butterflies have egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages, the number of complete cycles or generations which occur in one year is remarkably variable, as is the time of year when each stage may be found.
		In those butterflies studied, perching species generally mate only in limited areas of habitat and during certain times of day, whereas patrolling species are more general in regard to location and time of day of mating (Scott, 1975).

		In the Time of the Butterflies tells the real-life story of the Mirabal sisters, courageous revolutionaries known covertly as las Mariposas ("the Butterflies").
		As with so many biographical depictions on film, even though this one is based on a highly acclaimed novel by Julia Alvarez, the narrative shifts from past to present are clumsy and excessively sepia-toned; the script delivers its life-was-better-before-sequence with little to no grace before quickly connecting the dots of history.
		Whether you have read Julia Alvarez's wonderful novel upon which this movie is based will not affect the level of enjoyment you will have with the movie---it is thoroughly terrible and fails on almost every possible level.

		They returned to raise their children in Santo Domingo until her father became so implicated in the rebel underground that the family was forced to escape to America three months before that underground's founders, the Mirabal sisters (known as "the Butterflies"), were led to a cane field and brutally strangled.
		It was from the lives of the Mirabal sisters that Alvarez eventually fashioned her stirring political novel, In the Time of the Butterflies (1994).
		Her next novel -- the one that has spurred her to weigh the relevance of the writer in the larger world -- is tentatively titled Saving the World (April, 2006), and it concerns Dr. Francisco de Balmis, a Spanish doctor who, in 1803, organized the first worldwide medical expedition to eradicate disease.

	Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The novel is the history of the founding, development, and death of a human settlement, Macondo, and of the most important family in that town, the Buendias.
		The characters in the novel's main family tend to be organized schematically (as in the Jose Arcadios and the Aurelianos).
		Thus, they argue, Marquez's novel is not saying that life is a dream but rather that Latin American life is a dream--"the unreality and unauthenticity imposed by almost five hundred years of colonialism--and that when a dream becomes a permanent living nightmare it is probably time to wake up" (Martin 104).

	Poetry Authors in Depth - Julia Alverez - Meyer Literature
		Alvarez’s second novel, In the Time of the Butterflies (1994), is a fictional account of a true story concerning four sisters who opposed Trujillo’s dictatorship.
		Three of the sisters were murdered in 1960 by the government, and the fourth surviving sister recounts the events of their personal and political lives that led up to her sisters’ deaths.
		Written in the different voices of Yo’s friends and family members, this fractured narrative constructs a complete picture of a woman who uses her relationships as fodder for fiction; a woman who is selfish, aggravating, and finally lovable and who is deeply embedded in American culture while remaining aware of her Dominican roots.

	Talking back to El Jefe: genre, polyphony, and dialogic resistance in Julia Alvarez's In the Time of Butterflies - ...
		Dominican American author Julia Alvarez's novel In the Time of the Butterflies (1994) is based upon the well-known Dominican story of the Mirabal sisters.
		The leading chapter in each section of the novel is narrated in the third person by Dede through the metafictive frame of her interactions in the present with a writer who, like Alvarez, has come to the Dominican Republic to interview her.
		The most obvious manifestation of polyphonic consciousness in the novel is the differing voices of the sisters, which cumulatively evoke the experience of living under a political dictatorship in a way that transcends the narrative of each individual voice.

		UB biologists who study butterfly wing patterns have inserted into an African butterfly a marker gene from a jellyfish species, resulting in the first transgenic butterflies that express DNA from another species.
		The UB research provides the first demonstration of germ line transformation in a butterfly, in which novel genes are injected into embryos and then are expressed in subsequent generations.
		In particular, she noted, the UB team wants to understand how genes that are common to fruit flies and butterflies evolve new functions, such as the specification of the novel color patterns on butterfly wings.
