Could someone recomend a butterfly book
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2009 7:23 pm
I would like to pick up a butterfly book that is easy to read and is probably best described as a field guide. The points that I would like covered are as follows;
British Butterflies only.
Gives info and maps on distribution
Foodplants.
Time of year to be seen
Photo of each butterfly
Photo of caterpillar would be a bonus but not necessary.
General coments on scarcity and whether populations are on the up or down.
I have a copy of Robert Gooddens British Butterflies A Field Guide which I acquired, (forgot to take back) from the libarary as a youngster. It covers most of what I would like but suspect that it may now be out of date in terms of populations and scarcity.
A British Moth book would also be useful if you could recomend one aswel
Thanks in advance as all the advice that I have received from this site so far has proved to be excellent. cheers Dave
