Increasingly the segmentation between birders, butterfly watchers, dragonfly watchers & photographers is reducing as interests overlap & there is a demand for books that cover the three popular groups of birds, butterflies & dragonflies. Having written & photographed the guide to the birds of Sri Lanka in the series, Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne has produced a single, compact & portable photographic guide to the butterflies & dragonflies of the country. The emphasis in the 280 species featured is on the commoner species, covering around 90 per cent of the species that a visitor is likely to see. It is also an excellent book for residents to learn about the commoner butterflies & dragonflies before progressing to more advanced technical books. The guide is focused on field use to help beginners & experts identify species & provides information on their distribution & habitats. As identification of butterflies & dragonflies require a different approach, the two sections are done as two mini photographic field guides with common introductory sections to wildlife watching in Sri Lanka. The book

Includes:: information on the key wildlife sites, general introductions to the biology of dragonflies & butterflies, up-to-date checklists with local status & useful references for people who wish to progress further with their study of these charismatic & photogenic animals.
