Book Synopsis

An authoritative photographic guide to the butterflies of Europe.

Packed with beautiful photography and thoroughly updated throughout, this is the definitive guide to all 472 species of European butterflies with additional information on another 64 species found in North Africa and south and west Turkey.

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 which have been updated for this new edition.

The result of collaboration between many European butterfly experts and photographers, and compiled by a Finnish team, this thoroughly updated second edition of this comprehensive guide represents the last word in butterfly identification.
