dc.description	"Written by one of the world's leading and most respected experts on butterfly ecology, behaviour and conservation, this book summarises in one place for the first time our knowledge of butterfly life history strategies, behaviour and systems. This book represents a major contribution to the field of butterfly biology and entomology in general"-- Provided by publisher
