It should interest all true naturalists and ecologists as it attempts to show most of Nepal's butterflies in natural habitat. The need for a colour guide to the butterflies of Nepal has been urgently felt for a number of years; so rather than wait till all the species could be photographed in the field, other photographs of set specimens have been added to make this the most complete set of illustrations of Nepal's butterfly species yet produced. It gives pictures of 70% of the species, covering 90% of the genera found in Nepal. Great care has been taken to give accurate information as regards the classification and distribution of the species. Nearly all of it was amassed by the Author over 18 seasons of collection and study between 1966 and 1987, but all species known to have ever been seen in Nepal are included. This book should interest the scientists, students and the persons with a casual interest in natural history, or a wider interest in Nepal alike; but should prove absolutely essential to the field collector in Nepal.
