This is a great little application with clear illustrations of all stages of butterfly life, some good photos and a handy amount of information. For the price I would recommend it.

Re: Butterflies land on the iTunes store
This was one of the first apps I downloaded when I got my iPhone but I didn't notice until tonight that a certain Pete Eeles is credited with most of the still photos!
It's a really great app. It would be wonderful if Tolman and Lewington could be turned into a similar thing for European butterflies...

I agree (and not because some of my photos are included!) - and have it on my iPod Touch.padfield wrote:It's a really great app.
I'm not aware of any immediate plans to produce a European guide. But if you're interested in contributing, Guy, I can put you in touch. I can't think of a more-credible candidate. Although BirdGuides use Lewington's work, I'm not sure if they have a relationship with Collins (the T&L publisher) or who owns the copyright to the content.padfield wrote:It would be wonderful if Tolman and Lewington could be turned into a similar thing for European butterflies...

Re: Butterflies land on the iTunes store
I'd certainly be interested in such a project! I never carry a book with me when I go butterflying, because of the weight, but sometimes I do need to check things up and I just have to wait till I get home.
