<br/><br/> This is a book about butterfly behaviour. Specifically, the behaviours associated with courtship rituals (described in Chapters 5 and 6) and mating and reproduction (described in Chapters 7 and 8). To understand the ways in which butterflies act as adults in search of mates, it is necessary to digress a little and wander off into associated fields, including evolutionary ecology (Chapter 2), mate seeking and territoriality (Chapter 3), vision (Chapter 4), scents and chemical communication (Chapter 9), and, finally, wing morphology and visual signalling (Chapter 10). It is hoped that this book will inspire readers to look at butterflies with new eyes, and perhaps to spend time trying to photograph their interesting behaviour.
