Description
Britain's Butterflies is a comprehensive photographic field guide to the butterflies of Britain and Ireland. The updated edition features hundreds of stunning colour photographs of the 59 regularly breeding butterfly species, as well as four former breeders, 10 rare migrants, and one species of unknown status. With its easy-to-use format, this guide enables both beginners and experts to identify any species they encounter. The guide includes detailed species profiles, which provide information on status and distribution, including up-to-date maps, and cover adult identification, behaviour, breeding habitat requirements, population and conservation, egg, caterpillar and chrysalis, and caterpillar foodplants. Photographs of the egg, caterpillar and chrysalis for every breeding species are also included, along with sections on biology, where to look for and how to identify butterflies, and other essential information.
