Although some 225 butterfly species occur in the Western Cape,
relatively few can be regarded as common garden, park or wayside
species. This is an informative, user-friendly guide that assists
gardeners and nature lovers alike in identifying and enjoying the
53 species of butterfly that are common in urban areas in the
region, and offers a brief, illustrated guide to the families to
which these species belong. Both sexes of each of the 53 species
are beautifully illustrated and in some cases, so is the relevant
larva or pupa. The photographs are accompanied by informative text,
detailing each species' life cycle, distribution, habitats and
habits, and the larvae's most common food plants (including the
Lycaenids' association with ants). Interesting snippets of
information regarding the world in which these creatures live round
off this unique guide to the butterflies of the Western Cape's
gardens, parks and waysides.
