Received my copy this morning all the way from Sri Lanka ... Beautiful and very comprehensive account of the butterflies fauna of the island, with many new informations on early stages and local food plants. Would have loved the pictures a little bit bigger, but with 418 pages and large format (22 x 29 cm) already, it would have been impossible to print in a single volume  Thank you to both authors for the dedication ... Invaluable for any entomologist interested with Sri Lanka fauna       A+, Michel |
