Hi,

can anyone recommend a field guide to butterflies for Namibia including the Caprivi strip, northern Botswana (Chobe) and Vic Falls area in Zimbabwe?

Online, I can only find lists ie here or incomplete stubs (wiki).

Thank you very much.

I'm still looking for a fieldguide, but I found this really good site, which has provided most of my answers.

There are several field guides to the butterflies of Southern Africa which include Namibia.

I have a couple including this

Don't have this one but often find it useful to use more than one book. Don't let the price deter you, they can often be found much cheaper with a bit of patience.

A general search on ebay, amazon and NHBS will usually get something you need.

I often wonder if these are typos?

I often see books available at hunderds of pounds on one site and tens on another, surely no one is dim enough to pay these higher prices?
