http://www.amazon.co.uk/Butterfly-Photo ... 1405325402 I saw this book, "Butterfly: A Photographic Portrait" from photographer Thomas Marent and wondered if it would be a good buy?

Just got book yesterday, and wow. Its very good. Book is quite bigger than I thought. Photos of butterflies fro Europe and Tropics. Has information on each stage of life with images of each. has 2 pages dedicated to 80-88 and 89 butterflies, pages on caterpillars, including a tree in Switzerland completly covered in a silken web of bird cherry ermine caterpillars.

I loved the swallowtail images. His website is here http://www.thomasmarent.com with some of the pics used in book. On the start of book, there is an pic of his eye, being sucked on by a purple emperor thats on his face.

Good book on butterflies I think.
