Synopsis

A Naturalist's Guide to the Butterflies of Hong Kong is a photographic identification guide to 235 butterfly species found in Hong Kong (99.9% coverage), and is perfect for resident and visitor alike. There is much to enjoy, whether an armchair reader, casual hiker or long-time expert. The swallowtails of Hong Kong, for example, are widespread and spectacular. With more than 20 species, Hong Kong offers more variety of these butterflies than any major city in the world. Even the creator of James Bond was impressed by the remarkable butterflies of the Fragrant Harbour. This book combines high quality photographs from a broad swath of Hong Kong’s top photographers with detailed species descriptions. The text cuts through jargon, allowing readers to quickly distinguish different butterflies and see how each fits in the broader context. Local range, abundance and seasonality notes make it much easier to find a wide range of butterflies and, in the process, to see more of Hong Kong. The user-friendly introduction covers the origins of butterflies, their physical characteristics, butterfly family trees and behaviour. Also included is an all-important checklist of the butterflies of Hong Kong encompassing, for each species, its common English, Chinese and scientific name, and status in Hong Kong.
