Climate change is altering the shape of our butterfly life, but in this up-to-date guide you'll find precise illustrations showing the top and underwing for both sexes, plus eggs, larvae, pupae, associated plants and locator map for each species." -- RSPB Nature's Home magazine: pick of new nature books "Richard Lewington's butterfly paintings are legendary . the text is also first rate.
