Larvae of the British Butterflies & Moths Vol 1: Butterflies

William Buckler's 9 volumes on the larvae of the butterflies and moths represented a monumental feat of artistry over nearly 30 years. Published by the Ray Society in 1885, Volume 1 covers, with a very few exceptions, all the British species of butterfly at the time. Some of the nomenclature has since changed, but the species and life-cycle descriptions and the 17 plates of hand-coloured illustrations remain invaluable, although they are rarely seen.
