Guide to the Butterflies of Britain (Field Studies Council Occasional Publications)

The Butterflies guide features all 60 wild butterflies found in Britain and Ireland.

• Designed for speedy identification of living butterflies
• Life-sized colour paintings show both upper wings and under wings
• Similar-looking butterflies close to each other for easy comparison

Making a butterfly list is a great first step into wildlife identification. Some are easy to identify. But for others you might need to take a closer look. Is that a Small White or a Large White eating your cabbages? Is that a Common Blue or a Holly Blue fluttering along the hedge? With experience you can guess Ringlet or Speckled Wood from flight pattern alone.
