This book represents the results of one of the most intensive local butterfly surveys ever undertaken. It contains full descriptions of all the butterflies found in the three counties and gives details of their conservation status. More generally, the many colour photographs and chapters on butterfly biology and conservation will be of interest far beyond the three counties. The book contains a wealth of information:

	Introductory chapters describing the life-cycle of butterflies, the geology and habitats of the three counties, and the survey methods used
	Descriptions of each butterfly species, its behaviour and local conservation status
	Superb colour photos showing the adults of each butterfly, and many of the early stages
	Colour distribution maps and flight period diagrams, clearly presenting the survey results
	A valuable chapter on the conservation of butterflies and their habitats
	A guide to when, where and how to see butterflies.
