Clear and easy to use
A brilliant guide to the 60 or so Butterflies that inhabit Britain. It also includes the Butterflies that could possibly arrive as migrants, and shows every stage in the cycle of a Butterflies life, and has photos of the caterpillar of most species as well as their chryaslis.
It is done in the same style as 'Britain's Dragonflies' which is also a very handy guide.
These books have good clear photographs and I would highly reccomend them if you want to learn about Britain's Insects.

The handiest field guide to British butterflies
Computer design wizard Rob Still, author David Tomlinson and the WILDGuides team have produce the handiest and friendliest guide to British butterflies available. They have pioneered the use of computer enhanced photographs, which combine the advantage of a photograph as an accurate record of an individual, with the artists ability to stress those features that are representative of the species. In a pocket-sized, 192 page, full-colour photographic guide you have all you need to identify all the butterflies of the UK. Those wanting more detail, or a European field guide, should supplement this with the superb Tolman & Lewington (Collins) guide.

Since WILDGuides are a non-profit organisation which supports conservation throughout the world (in this case, profits go to Butterfly Conservation), you are helping ensure that the wildlife you enjoy today will still be there for others to enjoy tomorrow. Check out their other titles, all of which share the enhanced photography approach.

Excellent!
