Butterflies

Ford, a distinguished geneticist and entomologist, combines his extensive knowledge of genetics and evolution with practical experience of butterfly collecting, providing readers with an in-depth understanding of the biology, classification and natural history of British butterflies. The book contains numerous illustrations, including photographs of live specimens, black and white plates, distribution maps and diagrams, which further enriches the content. Although the work was originally published in 1945, it is still considered a valuable contribution to natural history, especially for butterfly enthusiasts and collectors.
