Description

Caterpillars Guide

This Caterpillars Guide features the caterpillars all 60 wild butterflies found in Britain and Ireland.

Designed for speedy caterpillar identification in the field, it includes beautiful colour paintings, shown at life-size, by acclaimed artist Richard Lewington. Both upper wings and under wings are illustrated, so you can identify butterflies in flight and at rest. Similar looking caterpillars are close to each other for easy comparison.

As well as the paintings, the reverse side of the Caterpillars guide includes concise identification notes for each species. This text covers the key characters to look out for, plus food plant, life-cycle, habitat and range. Also indicated are those species which now have legal protection in the UK.

Our caterpillars identification guide covers all 60 species that you are likely to see. Another 10 or so species occur, but they are very scarce, so you are not likely to see them. This is a Second Edition of this Caterpillars fold-out guide, with more species and text than the First Edition from 2001.
