About the Author:

Tom Tolman developed an interest in botany and natural history in the 1970s and has since developed a passion for butterflies. He has done extensive research on their habitats and has spent between 4-6 months each year camping in remote mountainous locations for the sole purpose of acquiring new information. He has an extensive collection of butterfly photographs from all over Europe, including many species whose photographs have never been published.

Richard Lewington is one of the world's leading natural history illustrators, specialising in insects and other invertebrates. He has illustrated numerous books, including ‘How to Identify Butterflies’, ‘Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Great Britain and Ireland’ and ‘Field Guide to the Moths of Great Britain and Ireland’. He lives in Oxfordshire, where he works as a freelance illustrator and regularly leads wildlife tours to various parts of Europe.
