Orr A., Kitching R. The Butterflies of Australia
Allen & Unwin, 2011. - 328 pages.
A complete guide to Australian butterflies, beautifully illustrated in typical habitats as we see them in everyday life, accompanied by their earlier life stages.
The world Over, people love butterflies, but few understand much more about them than their visual appeal.
The Butterflies of Australia is a unique guide to help identify the nearly 400 species to which our continent plays host, but with its focus on living butterflies it is much more than an identification guide.
Within its pages is a concise but broad, non-technical introduction to butterfly biology, history, ecology, evolution and conservation. Hundreds or meticulous illustrations show adult butterflies in life, flying or perched, courting or laying eggs, among the plants and animals of their natural habitat, while others document the Australian butterfly species, with beautiful diagnostic half-wing illustrations of pinned specimens. The early stages are extensively portrayed in life-like detail. The book also explains and illustrates much of the known behaviour and ecology of Australian butterflies and, in so doing, meets the needs of both the butterfly watcher and the general nature lover. The Butterflies of Australia presents a remarkable blend of natural history, science and art. With a copy as guide, the reader can appreciate the charm and purpose underlying butterflies' far from frivolous lives.
