the Millennium Atlas of Butterflies of Britain and Ireland.
The new assessment is based on the best information on butterfly
populations and distributions anywhere in the world. In the 2000-04
period alone, thousands of volunteer recorders and conservationists
have contributed over 1.6 million butterfly distribution records
and carried out butterfly monitoring transects at over 500 sites.

Since 1968, the Rothamsted network of light traps has been
recording numbers of larger moths caught every night from hundreds
of locations across Britain. This provides one of the
longest-running and geographically extensive data sets on insect
populations anywhere in the world. Analysis of this data set,
carried out by Rothamsted Research and Butterfly Conservation, has
generated national population trends for hundreds of common moths
for the first time.

This book's aim is to help readers discover butterflies in beautiful places. It
has detailed descriptions and photographs of 66 great places to find
butterflies.
Although the selection is a personal one by the author, the sites
have been chosen so that readers will be led to at least one
hotspot for every British species. And the beautiful and
interesting places which the book describes will lead not only to
butterflies but to the British countryside at its best.
