His passion for butterflies (especially swallowtails) and moths is nearly 30 years strong. He hopes this book will help make Australian butterflies accessible to everyone, especially future generations of budding scientists.

Peter has a comprehensive knowledge of Australian fauna and flora, and has written and contributed to 15 books and several scientific papers on the wildlife of Australasia. Rachel Whitlock studied biological science at The University of Queensland (UQ) and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) with a focus on insect systematics and taxonomy. She is interested in exploring Australia's unique faunal diversity and how evolution has helped shape it, alongside engaging and educating the general public about biodiversity and conservation.
