Over 650 species of butterfly are known to occur in South Africa. In the Cape Peninsula, 67 species and subspecies occur, as well as three occasional migrants from the eastern regions. Considering that the Cape Peninsula covers less than 420 square kilometres, this area is relatively rich in butterfly fauna. Butterflies of the Cape Peninsula is an informative, beautifully illustrated guide designed to be of use to the layman with a general interest in the regions fauna. The uppersides and undersides of all the Peninsula's species are depicted in full colour, and interesting and relevant information is offered regarding size, distribution, flight period, larval food, ant associations, and the early stages of each butterfly.
