This is the most comprehensive field guide to the butterflies of Europe. The magnificent color illustrations and succinct entries cover all of the continent’s 440 species. Completely up-to-date, the book includes dozens of species absent in earlier guides, and covers the Canary Islands, the Azores, Madeira, and the Aegean Islands, home to several butterflies found nowhere else in Europe.
The entries cover taxonomic nomenclature, range, distribution, description, flight period, variation, habitat, life history—including larval host plants—and behavior. The 104 color plates feature over 2,000 illustrations, including both genders of each species and lateral views. Distribution maps accompany nearly all entries.
In this journey to the Old World, we encounter swallowtails and festoons, orange tips, hairstreaks and blues, fritillaries, ringlets, skippers, and many other delicately winged delights. All who find butterflies beautiful will treasure this authoritative guide.
