About this title

Synopsis

The author spent 41 years working with the scientific collections at the Natural History Museum, London, primarily the butterfly collection. To some extent, this volume reflects his areas of the milkweed butterflies, the passionvine butterflies, the apollo butterflies and the birdwing butterflies; together with other stories that imposed on his memory over four decades. As a new-comer to entomology in 1965, he became very aware of the absence of a collections based introductory text, so to some extent this book addresses this need. 69 col plates.
