Customer Reviews

Great Little Book
I bought this book when we moved to a new house with a large established garden which seemed to attract lots of butterflies. It has been a great help finding out which ones are which and good fun too getting my daughter involved as well. Great pictures and photographs and an easy to follow method of identifying butterflies and moths. Well worth the small amount of money paid.
