Each butterfly is illustrated with at least one close-up colour photograph. Additional photographs are provided to show variation between the sexes and how the upper- and undersides of the wings differ. Each species description includes facts on markings, food, distribution and the time of year the butterfly can be seen." Originally published in German by Graefe und Unzer, Munich 1995.
