Each species of butterfly has an individual distribution map, generated from a database of more than 90,000 location records.

It also contains new and unpublished information on the classification of butterflies, their ranges, larval food plants, abundance, flight seasons, and noteworthy habits. Thirty two colour plates provide diagnostic details for each species, and also feature butterflies in their natural habitats. There is an extensive bibliography." 2 kg parcel., Books<
