This new book summarises decades of research and collation of distributional data. From the tiny Freyeria trochylus (Grass Jewel), Europe's smallest butterfly, to the magnificent, newly arrived Papilio demoleus (Lime Swallowtail), this comprehensively illustrated reference book and field guide includes all butterfly species known in Cyprus over the past 100 years. Where applicable, reference is made to subspecies of related taxa present in nearby countries of the eastern Mediterranean. The images on the cover represent the island's seven endemics, discussed in depth. Included, too, are detailed distribution maps representing records garnered from almost 300 recorders/sources (particularly members of the Cyprus Butterfly Study Group), over a period of more than 20 years.
Eddie John (Author)
A period of residency in Cyprus followed by annual visits enabled Eddie John to study the island's butterflies and to establish the Cyprus Butterfly Recording Scheme.

EJ was the principal editor of an 895-page book, 'Wildlife of Cyprus' (Sparrow & John, 2016) and contributed a 64-page chapter on butterflies. In 2020, he co-authored and edited Vol II of 'Butterflies of the Levant' (Benyamini & John). He has written or co-authored over 50 papers, the majority peer-reviewed.
