OverviewWritten by experts in the field, this accessible and richly illustrated book describes more than ninety species of butterflies from all over India. The butterflies described in this book include the rare and beautiful Kaiser-i-Hind, the readily visible Common Gull, the pretty Yellow Pansy, and the world's best known and widely distributed butterfly, the Painted Lady. Easy to read, Butterflies of India includes an informative introduction that discusses the amazing life cycle of butterflies. It also details the preferred larval food plants of the butterflies that are discussed in the book and carries notes on variations between butterflies, butterfly watching, and butterfly conservation, as well as a glossary. Adding value to the text are numerous illustrations of different species of butterflies and their larvae. Part of the 'WWF-OUP Nature Guides' series, Butterflies of India, though designed keeping younger readers in mind, will appeal equally to older readers including parents and teachers, as well as nature lovers.
