THE COMMON BUTTERFLIES OF THE GAMBIA

60 of the most commonly seen butterflies are illustrated in colour with brief descriptive notes on each to aid identification in the field. These notes include colouration, flight characteristics, status, times of the year when they may be seen and their common larval food plants.

Suitable for both professionals and those with just a passing interest in butterflies, this is the first in a series of guides describing the common flora and fauna of The Gambia, and is published by Makasutu Wildlife Trust.
