This is my first post here so, hello to all.

I am looking to get some advice on a good field guide for me and my daughter to use. We are looking for a book that has UK butterflies only and has pictures of both the males and females with underside wing pictures of both as well. Preferably one specie per page.

I have the Collins Nature Guides Butterflies and Moths of Britain & Europe but there are not nearly enough pictures to make positive identifications for us novices.

I have been to many town book shops with no joy and unfortunately Amazon does not allow you to see inside before buying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael,

Given your requirements, I'd recommend "Britain's Butterflies":

Great book. Thanks for the advice.

I would recommend Richard Lewington's Pocket Guide to the Butterflies of Britain and Ireland.
