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.
