CLM includes long-form articles, events listings, publication reviews, new product information and updates, reports of conferences and letters.
The illustrations in this guide, from originals painted by Richard Lewington, show 58 British butterfly species; another 10 or so occur in the British Isles, but are so scarce that they are unlikely to be seen. The paintings are a quick identification aid to the butterflies most likely to be seen and all are drawn to life size.
The second edition features a few new species, and the larger and more spaced out images have increased the pagination from 8 to 12 pages.
