 This multimedia CD-ROM presents unique up-to-date information on more than 400 European butterflies. This information is not available in regular field guides. All species are presented with superb colour drawings, pictures of living butterflies, and information on distribution and flight periods. Specific butterfly habitats are described and illustrated. A novel feature in this production is the display of trend and degree of occurence in each country over the last 25 years. An easy to use interactive tool allows you to find which butterfly can be expected in a particular geographic region, habitat, and flight period. This CD-ROM, compiled by specialists from the Dutch Butterfly Conservation, is a must for all European butterfly lovers and for all visitors who take delight in these fascinating insects.

 «It really is a marvellous tool, with many features that I have not yet used properly. De Vlinderstichting has done a wonderful job, and I expect it to become a standard work that will run into many future versions as the databases are expanded.» -- Rob Parker, butterfly conservation specialist, posted in the Amateur Entomologist's Society (AES) e-mail group

«There is no doubt that it is an excellent product, with scope for further refinement as time goes by. It installs smoothly, and produces everything it promises on the label.» -- Rob Parker"A short review cannot do justice to this excellent cd guide.» -- Richard Fox, Butterfly Conservation News, Number 81, Autumn 2002
