Excerpt from The Butterflies of Switzerland and the Alps of Central Europe The difficulty I experienced, when beginning to collect butterflies in Switzerland, in finding out what to look for, and when and where to look, and the discovery that many others were in the same situation, first opened my eyes to the necessity for a book with some such scope as the present. No work dealing with the Swiss butterflies as a whole had appeared since Frey's "Lepidopteren der Schweiz" in 1880, though Lang's "Butterflies of Europe" was published in 1884, and 1885 saw the production of the "European Butterflies of Kane, who has become the "guide, philosopher and friend" of a large and ever-increasing number of British lepidopterists in the Alps and elsewhere. Moreover, not only had new species been discovered since that time, but one of the books was in German, another decidedly expensive and not very portable, and the third, I was informed on trying to obtain a copy, sold out; and in neither of them was the subject of variation, so intensely interesting even to the "mere collector," more than lightly touched on. It was not, however, until much later that I even contemplated the possibility of trying to supply the deficiency, an idea which was first suggested to me after the publication of some of my papers in the Entomologist's Record, when I found, to my own great surprise, that my advice was asked, and my opinion consulted, by entire strangers, even including, during the last two years, some of the best known lepidopterists of Switzerland. This circumstance, together with the fact that no one else seemed willing to throw himself into the breach, must be my excuse for undertaking the task; and, if it be a case of "where angels fear to tread," I can only plead that at least I have not "rushed in." Often the inclusion, or even the suppression, of a single line has entailed the close examination of many specimens, and a most unexpected amount of correspondence. The original idea was to include Swiss butterflies only, but Switzerland is so entirely a political rather than a geographical expression, that it seemed necessary either to enlarge or diminish the scope of the work, and, after much consideration, the whole of the Alps of Central Europe have been included; i.e., the Alpes-Maritimes, the Hantes and Basses Alpes, and Savoie in France: the Alps of N. Italy; the Tyrol; the Styrian, Carinthian and Julian Alps, and such small portions of the S. of Upper and Lower Austria as are alpine. At the same time the original idea has not been lost sight of; the whole of Switzerland is included whether alpine or not (which has involved the inclusion of the French Jura), and those species and varieties which have never been taken in Switzerland are marked with an asterisk (*), for the convenience of those collectors (no insignificant number) who confine their attentions exclusively to the butterflies of that country.

Packed with beautiful photography and thoroughly updated throughout, this is the definitive guide to all 472 species of European butterflies with additional information on another 64 species found in North Africa and south and west Turkey. Detailed text and clear photographs – including views of both the upperwing and underwing where possible – allow identification of adult butterflies in the field. There is also useful information on their relative size, similar species, habitat, lifestyle and larval host plants, accompanied by accurate range maps which have been updated for this new edition. The result of collaboration between many European butterfly experts and photographers, and compiled by a Finnish team, this thoroughly updated and comprehensive guide represents the last word in butterfly identification.

This book was conceived to mark the Silver Jubilee of the British Butterfly Conservation Society. Interest in the conservation of butterflies has increased so rapidly that it is difficult to relate to the situation 25 years ago. Butterflies were on the decline in Britain, Europe and elsewhere but we lacked data on the extent of the decline and the underlying reasons, leaving us unable to implement effective conservation measures. An early recognition of the plight of British butterflies and moths led to the foundation of the society by a small group of conservationists in 1968. Today the society has over 10000 members, owns a number of reserves and sponsors research, conservation and monitoring activities at the local and national level. As part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations an international symposium was held at Keele University in September 1993 entitled 'Ecology and Conservation of Butterflies'. This symposium clearly showed how much important work has been done in recent years and also gave me the impression that the subject had reached a watershed. This was not because the decline of butterflies has stopped or even slowed down, far from it, the threat to our butterflies continues to increase from habitat destruction and intensification of land use. The watershed is in our understanding of the relationship between butterflies and their habitat.
