An Introduction to the Butterflies of Cyprus: A photographic pocket guide to the identification of the resident species and regular immigrants

An Introduction to the Butterflies of Cyprus is a handy butterfly guide to pack when visiting the Island. Cyprus displays a wealth of wild habitats, occupied by a range of animals and plants, including 49 butterfly species. Many of these are exotic and spectacular, and the butterfly fauna is particularly rich in members of the family of blue butterflies. The book contains colour photographs of living specimens of the uppersides of both sexes and the undersides of each of the resident species and regular visitors. The written accounts include information on the larval hostplants, distribution and flight periods of all the species recorded on the island to date. In addition, there are figures illustrating the key identification features of superficially similar species.
