This new edition of Philip's Guide to Butterflies of Britain and
Ireland begins with a valuable introduction to butterflies,
explaining the differences between butterflies and moths, the life
cycle and structure of butterflies, their movement and migration
patterns, and helpful information on the distribution and habitats
of the main family groups so that readers will know at a glance
which species they are likely to see and where - useful for both
identification purposes and for those readers who want to find a
specific species. The introductory section finishes with
information for gardeners, detailing which plants to grow and when.
Each section is illustrated with diagrams and photographs. There
then follows an illustrated key to the main family groups,
detailing principal physical and flight characteristics, as well as
other key information to aid identification. The next section
consists of 60 specific species descriptions. These comprise
detailed identification notes for both adult and young stages,
information on life cycle, habitat and behaviour, and distribution
and status - all accompanied by life-cycle artwork and time charts,
a distribution map and a large colour photograph. Finishing with
photographs and information on the most common day-flying moths,
Philip's Guide to Butterflies of Britain and Ireland is an
essential guide for both experienced naturalists and newcomers to
the subject.
