A Field Guide To Butterflies Of Australia

$56.99

The Field Guide To Butterflies Of Australia is a practical and detailed resource covering over 400 butterfly species found across Australia.

From the striking Ulysses and Common Jezebel to the impressive Cairns Birdwing and more elusive species like the Blues and Skippers, this field guide offers clear and accessible information for enthusiasts and beginners alike.

Unlike many other guides, this Australian butterfly book features photographs of live butterflies, not pinned specimens. It includes multiple images showing each stage of the butterfly's life cycle—egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and adult—as well as both upperwing and underwing views. Where male and female butterflies look different, both are shown.

Each species entry includes a brief description, images, and a distribution map. Host plants are also featured, helping readers identify butterflies in their natural habitat. With a durable cover and field-ready format, this guide is ideal for outdoor use and a great companion for butterfly watchers across Australia.
