Item description from seller

32 p., numerous ill., 1 map. A perfect copy. - Introduction: Nepal is well known for many forms of beauty, such as snowy peaks across lush valleys and picturesque villages or temples against vistas of range upon range of mountains. Its beautiful butterflies are less well known; partly because most visitors come during their off season and partly because many of them are hard to find, and some are extremely rare or local. It is the purpose of this booklet to introduce these most attractive members of Nepals fauna. Studying it will enable you to recognise the more striking butterflies you may see anywhere in the country. Note that this is not a mini field guide. To enable you to identify ALL of even just the Commoner butterflies of Nepal would take a much larger volume. But here you will find more. You will also see pictures of many rare and beautiful species that you are most unlikely to find in the wild, unless you spend much time here. This book assumes no prior knowledge of butterflies, and reading it will not make you an expert. But it will open your eyes to a wealth of hitherto unsuspected beauty to be found in nearly every corner of Nepal. Contents: I About Butterflies -- II About Nepal -- III Map of Nepal -- IV Nepal Butterflies: Swallowtails -- Whites -- Nymphalids -- Amathusids -- Browns -- Tigers & Crows -- Blues -- Erycinids -- Skippers -- V Appendix: Butterflies easily confused -- VI Index.
