The Easy Butterfly Guide by Ted Benton

The Easy Butterfly Guide by Ted Benton

There are plenty of costly expert guides to butterflies, covering a confusing number of species, many of which are virtually indistinguishable in the field. And there are a number of crude, low-cost beginner's guides that only give a single painting or photograph and minimal background information. In contrast, this guide is directed at people who want a simple, easy-to-use book that covers all the species they are likely to encounter and provides clear, authoritative guidance on identification together with concise information on range, food plants and habitat. The secret is the "Easy Guide" formula which combines photographs, which give lively, natural impressions of each species in the wild, and artwork, which emphasizes key features as well as depicting the caterpillar and chrysalis stages.

Ted Benton, author and photographer, has been an active field naturalist since childhood and is now a well-known writer on wildlife and ecology. His acclaimed images of butterflies and other insects in their habitats have been published in more than 20 books and many periodicals Tim Bernhard, who did the paintings, worked as a graphic designer for film and television and has illustrated a range of booklets and leaflets for various wildlife organizations and contributed the superb butterfly paintings for The Aurelian Fireside Companion, recently published by Paphia.
