Written for the country rambler who wants to name what he sees, this guide opens with the life cycle of the butterfly, from egg and caterpillar to chrysalis and adult, and with advice on collecting. It then describes each British species in turn, from the Swallow-tail and Black-veined White onward, with notes on flight times, haunts and food plants.
A standard British field guide, still useful and pleasant for naturalists. Download the free EPUB.
