Product Description

The ideal portable companion, the world-renowned Collins Gem series returns with a fresh new look and updated material.

This is the perfect pocket guide for nature enthusiasts keen to identify the most commonly seen butterflies and moths in Britain and northern Europe.

Authoritative text, beautiful photographs and detailed illustrations show the distinguishing features of each butterfly and moth to aid identification.

Features information on size, habitat, geographical range and months when they can be spotted, as well as names of similar species with which each butterfly or moth could be confused, and details of the differences between them.

This new edition builds on the strengths of the unrivalled original, now expanded to include over 240 butterflies and moths.

Great Little Book 27 Jan 2007

By Mr. M. Kitson

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this book when we moved to a new house with a large established garden which seemed to attract lots of butterflies. It has been a great help finding out which ones are which and good fun too getting my daughter involved as well. Great pictures and photographs and an easy to follow method of identifying butterflies and moths. Well worth the small amount of money paid.

Butterflies pocket book 31 July 2009

By Ms. Audrey Farthing

Format:Paperback

Good as a pocket book with excellent photographs However, difficult to use without some knowledge of butterflie classification. I have had to look through every photo to find each one I want to identify. That said, for the price an excellent book for the pocket!
