Summary |
Butterflies of Australia offers a unique guide to help identify the nearly 400 species to which our continent plays host; but with its focus on living butterflies, it is much more than an identification guide. Within its pages is a concise but broad, non-technical introduction to butterfly biology, history, ecology, evolution and conservation |
