Butterflies of Europe by Tristan LaFranchais. This A5 size field guide of 350 pages is probably now the most reliable identification aid to all the Butterflies of Europe. Featuring 409 different species, it includes 1,300 full colour annotated photos showing both the upperside and underwings. Early lifecycle stages of some specues are also shown. Enthusiasts committed to identifying similar species will be interested in the diagrams depicting male genitalia and instructions on how identification can be achieved in the field, without the need for killing specimens. By far the best feature of the book is its up to date distribution maps. The current range of each species is shown for an area covering the whole of Europe (excluding all the countries formerly part of the Soviet Union, but including the Baltic states) - Price £25
