This

user-friendly photographic field guide to the butterflies of North
America. Written by Jeffrey Glassberg, the pioneering authority on the
field identification of butterflies, the guide covers all known species,
beautifully illustrating them with 3,500 large, gorgeous color
photographs--the very best images available. This second edition
includes more than 500 new photos and updated text, maps, and species
names. For most species, there are photographs of topsides and
undersides, males and females, and variants. All text is embedded in the
photographs, allowing swift access in the field, and arrows point to
field marks, showing you exactly what to look for. Detailed, same-page
range maps include information about the number of broods in each area
and where strays have been recorded. Color text boxes highlight
information about habitat, caterpillar food plants, abundance and flight
period, and other interesting facts. Also included are a quick visual
index and a caterpillar food plant index. The result is an ideal field
guide that will enable you to identify almost every butterfly you see.
