Bring butterflies back is a follow-up to the much acclaimed bring
nature back to your garden by the same authors. It is unique in
being the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of information
on all indigenous South African butterfly larval food-plants. The
book emphasises the contribution people can make to nature by
actually providing food for caterpillars, giving practical
examples. It includes a chapter with the Latin and common names of
all our approximately 670 butterfly species. There is an intriguing
further chapter on bizarre butterfly lifestyles: few people know,
for example, that some butterfly larvae are carnivorous and abuse
the hospitality of ants which host them, by eating their
unsuspecting offspring. Most useful are descriptions of over 500
plants selected by our butterflies themselves. All known indigenous
larval food-plants are included.
