Sorry if readers thought that the title was to introduce a new field guide, more over, its a request for one. Having been glued to the ID analysis on this forum it strikes me that the information volunteered is priceless and would be better served if captured in a field guide. I use Collins guide (Tolman & Lewington) which I've found to be brilliant but I'm not ashamed to confess that the information given by Guy Padfield is quickly jotted down and added to my field notes. So I suppose the question is, when are you going to produce a comparitive field guide Guy so that I can stop defacing my Collins guide? Thanks Gary

HI Gary! Some of the tricks Pete, Matt R and I have gleaned over the years are included in our iPhone app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/butterf ... d499848412). When enough people buy the first version we'll be able to afford to issue an upgrade, including more pearls of wisdom ...

You are right, though - there's a lot of wisdom locked up in forum members' heads that doesn't appear in the guides.

Guy

Thanks for your reply Guy and please keep up the excellent analysis. On the field guide issue I guess I'm just going to have to invest in an iphone but in the mean time back to defacing the field guide!
