What makes this book different from other field guides is that all the illustrations of the butterflies are actual photos of live specimens. In most cases, this is how you will see them in the wild. It is just not possible to have every species as it would take a lifetime to gather live images of all the butterfly species as quite a few are very rare and extremely difficult to find.
This book should be read in conjunction with All About Butterflies of Australia (Reed New Holland, 2016) to get an overall view of just what butterflies are about. To save space most of the information in that book has not been repeated here. This publication has concentrated on illustrating as far as possible the adult butterflies, their early stages and the related host plants that the larvae feed on.
Due to hit the book shops from March 17th. Look for it at all good book stores.
Price $54.00 - all copies signed by Author.
Sorry, but I have not had time to work on these while writing the Butterfly Field Guide.
Now that it is published I will get back to these, but first I have thousands of images and a lot of species to add to Aust. Tropical Plants.
