Kleinschmetterlinge der Alpen

350 Alpine Species in Portrait – the foundational work on a previously under-researched group of species. The author presents 350 alpine species with information about their habitats and biology. Photos of host plants for the caterpillars, eggs, caterpillars, pupae, and butterflies showcase the astonishing diversity of colors and shapes found in this group of species that has been overlooked by research. With these new insights, a basis has been established for effectively protecting many small butterflies that are at risk.
