Product Description
Product Description
Aimed at both the general reader and amateur naturalist, this guide offers information on observing and identifying 150 of the most commonly encountered butterfly species in Britain and Europe. Each butterfly's habits, range and important characteristics are described, while colour paintings show each butterfly in detail. There are sections on the four stages of the life-cycle of butterflies and on breeding butterflies. Sound advice on conservation issues is also offered. The book can be used as both a home reference and a pocket companion in the field.

I was very disappointed with this book, it serves me right for buying the cheapest on offer I suppose! It's okay - the illustrations are quite good but a lot of the butterflies featured are not found in Britain. I know the title says Britain and Europe, I just thought the emphasis would be more in favour of British butterflies. And it doesn't show caterpillars. My advice is don't be a cheapskate like me, £2.50 really is too good to be true.

This is a great little guide for the butterflies of Europe. Compact size, good value for money, and well illustrated. Could be improved with pictures of the caterpillars . . . but for spotting butterflies, this is great.
A conveniently sized and comprehensive book.
When you see an unfamiliar butterfly you want to find out what it is immediately - not wait until you get back to your bookshelf!
