This 12-panel laminated guide / chart - our most popular title - is designed for speedy butterfly identification in the field.  Colour illustrations, arranged so that similar looking species are grouped next to each other, show all the 60 butterfly species that you are likely to see. Each chart is laminated to make it splashproof and robust for use outdoors. Clear colour illustrations and text by experts in the subject make these valuable resources for all age groups.     

Making a butterfly list is a great first step into wildlife identification. Some are easy to identify. But for others you might need to take a closer look. Is that a Small White or a Large White eating your cabbages? Is that a Common Blue or a Holly Blue fluttering along the hedge? With experience you can guess Ringlet or Speckled Wood from flight pattern alone. Our Butterfly guide can help!

As well as the paintings, the reverse side of the Butterfly guide includes concise identification notes for each species. This text covers the key characters to look out for, plus flight period, habitat and range. Also indicated are those species which now have legal protection in the UK.

Even beginners should find 5-10 butterflies in a typical garden in the summer. But if you visit woodland, grassy meadows or limestone hills, you could find many more. From Comma to Clouded Yellow, from Painted Lady to Purple Emperor, how many butterfly species can you identify with the guide this year?
