This book is printed on FSC^®-certified paper. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council^®) is an independent, international, non-governmental organization. Its aim is to support environmentally sustainable, socially and economically responsible global forest management.

The butterflies and moths featured in this book are those most likely to be seen – in almost any garden in South Africa. Should you find an unfamiliar butterfly that is not covered here, you can consult Steve Woodhall’s Field Guide to the Butterflies of South Africa, which covers all the region’s butterflies. Most guides on moths are currently out of print; for more information about moths you can contact the Lepidopterists’ Society of Africa (www.lepsoc.org.za). Another option is to visit the LepiMAP Virtual Museum and, if you have a digital photograph available, post it on the museum, where it will be identified by one of the experts. Instructions for registering at the Virtual Museum are given at lepimap.adu.org.za.
