My new publication 'Butterfly Diversity in the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, Chiang Mai, Thailand' is still available for FREE download. It contains the results of my research over the last 8 years and as you would expect there are lots of photos. It is 73pp in .pdf format and can be viewed and downloaded for free at my website.
