Presented in the same portable and accessible format as the Pocket Guide to the Butterflies of Britain and Ireland by the same author.
The introduction includes a double-page spread of the 'big 7' species that are most likely to be encountered in gardens.
Each species account includes a detailed description covering field characteristics, habitat and distribution, nest, flowers visited, parasites and similar species, and is accompanied by a seasonal flight chart and up-to-date distribution map. Species accounts are interspersed with spreads showing similar, confusion species, grouped together for direct comparison, and are followed by an illustrated section showing bumblebee mimics and lookalikes.
