Butterflies of Australia

A CSIRO Publication - Their Identification, Biology and Distribution

Two Superb Volumes

Over 1000 pages on butterflies covering everything from biology and distribution to identification. Everything known about butterflies is fully described in two magnificent volumes.

More than half of the butterflies in Australia are found nowhere else on earth. The fact that two packed volumes are needed to do justice to some 400 species is testament to the remarkable amount of information that now exists.

Each species is accompanied by scaled drawings showing key identification species as well as detailed text on description, variation, similar species, immature stages, larval food plants, life-cycle and behaviour, distribution and habitat;plus distribution maps showing likely habitat and seasons.

Volume 1 also has an extensive colour section devoted to each species of butterfly in its various forms and in the larvae stage.

350mm X 210mm. 2 Hard Back Volumes. Over 1000 pages.
