Inhaltsangabe

Britain's much-revered and studied butterflies are, besides being very beautiful, a fascinating group of insects each with an intricate life story. The aim of this enchanting collection of poetry penned by respected insect ecologist - and as revealed here - accomplished poet Dr Richard Harrington, is to tell that story in verse - some scientific, some humorous, always enlightening. 'The Butterfly Collection', which describes the life and times of our 58 resident as well as some migratory species in a series of brilliant poems, is surely a kaleidoscope of inspiration and as such, a treasure to behold, containing stunning colour photographs of the butterflies themselves, mostly taken by the author.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Richard Harrington is a professional entomologist. Until recently he headed the world-famous Rothamsted Insect Survey in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, contributing to an ongoing national and international effort to assess the demography of moths and aphids to inform about their conservation or control. He has been a very keen butterfly enthusiast since he was 8, now `collecting' them as a hobby using a camera only. He hopes that others will appreciate his fascination with these delightful insects and, like him, will become concerned with their future. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, a member of Butterfly Conservation and a volunteer with the National Trust.
