"The species descriptions have been refined and new photographs added to enrich an already-pleasing array of visual delight.. this continues to be my favourite photographic guide for British butterflies and, as such, is highly recommended."--Peter Eeles, Dispar, Online Journal of Lepidoptera "I was actually very impressed with the images. All are of exceptional quality, utterly sharp... With a bright, attractive design and a practical clear plastic dust-wrapper to protect the book in the field, there is everything to like about this field guide. For butterfly beginners and for collectors of fine butterfly portraits, it's an ideal purchase."--Andrew Stoddart, Rare Bird Alert "This volume completes my collection and they are constantly referred to so I am also a fan of the plastic covered book jacket. They survive being stuffed into a pocket or the glove compartment of the car. I thoroughly recommend the whole series!"--Fatbirder "Anyone even remotely interested in butterflies should have this on their bookshelf or in a rucksack when out and about."--Ray Collier, Highland News "[T]his volume completes my collection and they are constantly referred to so I am also a fan of the plastic covered book jacket.

This third edition is an excellent addition to the WILDGuide[s] series and an irresistible addition to any natural historian's bookshelf. WILDGuides are in danger of becoming addictive to anyone with an interest in the natural world."--Peter Smithers, Antenna
