"Butterfly books have come and gone since Joseph Banks disembarked from the Endeavour in 1770 and sighted his first Heteronympha on the shores of Botany Bay. This beautiful and comprehensive volume is the finest yet produced on Australian butterflies. The exquisite watercolours in themselves make the book a collector's piece. Each painting is not only a cameo in natural history, evoking a mood and region, picturing a habitat and illustrating a food-plant; it also serves as a key to identification exceptional in delicacy an accuracy of technique. 357 species are listed from Australia, and every one which can be visually separated.contains an introduction on taxonomy, classification and life-histories; Notes on collection and mounting of butterflies; a complete Glossary of scientific terms; an Appendix on the lives of the discoverers; Indexes of popular, scientific and botanic names, a map with geographic index showing territories of species, and a Bibliography of all significant butterfly literature to date."
