The 16-page authoritative Introduction treats of the biology and behaviour of butterflies, superbly illustrated with typically breathtaking photographs of living butterflies in nature, for which Bernard d’Abrera has long been justifiably renowned.
The Catalogue section of 150 exquisite colour plates, comprises over 6,400 specimens, married to a brief but authoritative text showing world distribution and basic biological and up-to-date taxonomic information.
This sumptuous book is essential for taxonomists, field workers, conservationists and all those (including artists and designers) interested in the Natural History of the Lepidoptera.
