An Introduction to the Butterflies of Cyprus

Don't forget to pack this handy butterfly guide when visiting Cyprus. The island displays a wealth of wild habitats, occupied by a range of animals and plants, including butterflies. Many of these are exotic and spectacular, and the butterfly fauna is particularly rich in members of the family of blue butterflies. The book contains colour photographs of living specimens of the uppersides of both sexes and the undersides of each of the resident species and regular visitors. The written accounts include information on the larval hostplants, distribution and flight periods of all the species recorded in the island to date. In addition, there are figures illustrating the key identification features of superficially similar species.
