A comprehensive guide to the country’s butterflies covering everything
from the eye-catching Common Jezabel and Ulysses Butterfly, to the
gigantic Cairns Birdwing, to the more cryptic Blues and Skippers.
The key features that separate this book from all other butterfly field
guides are firstly that all the images are of live butterflies
(compared with other guides, which often use specimens), and secondly
that there are large numbers of images documenting the different life
stages (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, etc), plus images of male and
female butterflies where they differ significantly in appearance, and
also pictures of host plants, which are often an important factor in
locating the butterflies.
On average each of the 350+ butterfly species included have one page
of coverage, although some of the larger and more well-known species
have up to three pages and some of the smaller species are set at two or
three species to a page. There is a distribution map for each species.
The sturdy plastic cover and compact layout make the book ideal for
use in the field, while the target readership is anyone with an interest
in butterflies.
