Discovering Australian Butterflies introduces readers to the wonders of this country's rich and varied butterfly fauna. Discovering Australian Butterflies considers a representative selection of the more familiar species with a sampling of some rarer ones. Butterflies are in general declining in Australia and elsewhere as a direct result of the destruction and modification of their natural habitats.
