A Field Guide to the Butterflies
From the Book Cover
If you want to know how to identify all the butterflies of eastern North America; where to find them, and their habits, life zones, and life histories; and how to make a butterfly collection, A Field Guide to the Butterflies is an indispensable guide for both beginner and expert, and a basic book for anyone interested in nature.
  • Detailed descriptions of every butterfly species found east of the Great Plains, from Greenland to Mexico
  • 40 plates show all the butterflies of importance—247 species in color
  • Each description gives common and scientific names, habits, range, food plants, habitat, subspecies, and much more
  • Chapters on collecting and preserving, as well as accounts of families and subfamilies, life zones, indicator plants, and basic biology
  • List of butterfly literature; checklist; indices to species, technical terms, and larval food plants; all the extra detail you expect from a Peterson Field Guide
