This handy pocket guide details more than 250 of the region’s 670 species, from the tiniest blues and coppers to enormous swallowtails and emperors. The most commonly encountered butterflies are included, but there are also a few elusive ‘specials’, for those who enjoy a challenge.

Concise text describing the habits, favoured habitat and early life stages of each butterfly (egg, larva and pupa)
Details of seasonal and other variations
Similar-looking species and status information
Full-colour photographs and distribution maps
Colour-coded calendar bars, showing at a glance when a particular butterfly is most abundant.
