Schmetterlinge, Tagfalter der Schweiz

The standard reference work on the butterflies of Switzerland (in German).

This handy field guide introduces all the butterflies of Switzerland, from the southern side of the Alps to the Jura. The more than 200 butterfly species are each depicted in their original size—with impressive and detailed color drawings—and the most important identification features are highlighted to allow for quick identification. In addition, a color photo of the caterpillar is shown for every butterfly. Concise and expert texts on the characteristics, the food plants of the caterpillars, and the habitat provide a comprehensive picture of each species. The distribution map and a table on the seasonal development of the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly complement the important information. Each butterfly portrait is rounded off with a list of similar species and their respective distinguishing features.
