Product Description

The perfect beginner's guide to the butterflies and moths you are most likely to see in Britain and Europe

Butterflies and moths are among our favourite creatures: they make regular appearances on wildlife programmes and have centres and farms around the world devoted solely to them. This book introduces 240 different species, colourfully confirming the beauty of the butterfly, and unlocking the fascination of the frequently overlooked moth.

• ID Fact file lists all the information needed for identification at a glance, including details of distribution, preferred habitat, migration and lifespan

• Colour artwork helps identification of the adult and also illustrates the caterpillar

• Calendar chart shows the month in which you are most likely to find that species

Each page is devoted to a different species and also gives details of hibernation, flight periods and caterpillar foods. Compact and easy-to-use, Wild Guide Butterflies and Moths is an excellent introduction for all those wanting to learn more about these beautiful insects.

About the Author

John grew up in East Sussex, surrounded by the South Downs, and his interest in butterflies and moths began at a very early age. After leaving school he began to take a specific interest in tropical species, but his fascination with their English counterparts continued.

For the last twenty years, John has been working with butterfly farms around the UK, breeding tropical species and encouraging the public to take a greater interest in our native butterflies.
