An authoritative photographic guide to the butterflies of Europe.
Packed with beautiful photography, this is the definitive guide to all
482 species of European butterflies with additional information on over
60 species found in the far east of Europe, stretching as far as the
Urals and Caucasus.
Detailed text and clear photographs--including views of both the
upperwing and underwing where possible--allow identification of adult
butterflies in the field. There is also useful information on their
relative size, similar species, habitat, lifestyle and larval host
plants, accompanied by accurate range maps.
The result of collaboration between many European butterfly experts and
photographers, and compiled by a Finnish team, this comprehensive guide
represents the last word in butterfly identification.
