All about butterflies of Australia
This beautifully presented guide is an ideal book for butterfly lovers and anyone curious to learn more about Australian butterflies. With clear, accessible information and over 300 full-colour photographs from the author’s own collection, it offers both inspiration and practical guidance.
The early chapters explore the full butterfly lifecycle—from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis to adult—along with fascinating insights into feeding, defence mechanisms like camouflage and mimicry, and the impact of introduced species.
A large section is devoted to helping readers identify Australian butterflies, with detailed profiles of key species such as the White Nymph, Common Jezabel, Ulysses Butterfly, and the striking Cairns Birdwing.
Where possible, all life stages are shown, including the differences between male and female butterflies.
Helpful comparison guides for look-alike species, especially among the Brown and Blue families, make this a valuable reference for identification in the field.
A thoughtful gift and reliable reference for anyone looking for a book about Australian butterflies.
