From egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to a glory of open wings, follow the whole life of a butterfly. Richard South then describes every British species in turn, making this the classic field guide that generations of collectors carried into the meadows. Clear, complete, and beautifully organized. Learn to name every butterfly on the British wing.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
