The Butterfly Spotter’s Guide is a beautifully illustrated little guide that tells you everything you need to know about Britain’s butterflies. Whether you’re a beginner or an enthusiast, you will want to spot all of these winged wonders.

All five families of British butterflies are featured – Skippers; Whites and Yellows; Browns, Fritillaries and Aristocrats; Metalmarks; Coppers, Hairstreaks and Blues – as well as five day-flying moths that are just as colourful and striking as their butterfly cousins.

There are detailed descriptions and lifelike illustrations to help budding butterfliers or seasoned spotters identify these ‘jewels of nature’s crown’. This handy book, compiled by passionate butterfly spotter and naturalist Matthew Oates, is the perfect companion for anyone interested in exploring the wonderful world of British butterflies.
