Designed with the beginner in mind, the book arrnages butterflies into groups that have broadly similar appearance and habits, including groups that are difficult to identify and those that are particularly hard to track down. Readers are encouraged to become familiar with the group before trying to identify individual species. Interesting fact boxes complement the text, and attractive colour photographs illustrate each species’ appearance. A comprehensive intro duction covers common behaviour, habits and habitats of South African butterflies, as well as their life history, where and how to find them, and butterfly rearing and breeding. On its own, or in combination with a field guide, What’s that Butterfly? is a colourful, user-friendly handbook and an inspiring introduction to the butterflies of the region."
