Product Description

This is an illustrated identification guide to more than 870 butterfly species recorded from Kenya. All the adult butterflies known up to 1991 are illustrated on the 64 colour plates, which show about 1500 museum specimens especially photographed for this volume. The plates are supplemented by black-and-white drawings of the early stages for some of the species. Following the success of the hardback, this new paperback edition brings it completely up to date with a final section which describes all the butterfly species which have been discovered since the hardback was published. This book is intended for entomologists, butterfly enthusiasts, ecologists, naturalists, researchers, and tourists in East Africa.
