Butterflies of the World [first edition]

Product Description

This depicts, in full color, over 5,000 different butterflies. Representation in many instances of the upper and under sides of specimens has resulted in a total of over 6,500 photographs, offering an almost complete conspectus of the world's main recorded species. The illustrations are amplified by a text section which gives generic and specific names, locations, and other brief descriptive information, and there is an encyclopedic index. An excellent reference book as well as a browsing pleasure. Foreword by J M Chalmers-Hunt.
