520	3		_aThis book contains 36 chapters divided into 4 sections exploring the complexity in wing patterns and forms, of life history traits and variety of behaviours of butterflies. The various structures among suites of butterfly life history and behavioural traits, the associations among them and links that may be regarded as cause-effect or influence are also discussed.
