Best of the bunch for butterfly guides March 5, 2005

While I'm not a professional lepidopterist, I do have a keen interest in this fascinating group of insects. I've used many of the available field guides, but this one has become my hands-down favorite. It would be nice if it had some caterpillar identification information, but, to me, that's about its only drawback.
If I had to buy one butterfly field guide (for North America) this would be it.
 Great for butterfly Watchers. But, no caterpillar pictures August 10, 2004

I agree with the other reviewers who rated this reference book. It's got thousands of accurate butterfly pictures and it's loaded with information. Unfortunately, I was looking for a book that had a picture of the caterpillar beside each butterfly. This book does not and I am still looking for a book that does. Don't buy it if you need larval stage pictures. This book does not have those pictures.

So far, this the best field guide for amateurs and advanced naturalists alike. It contains many more species than seen in other books I have purchased on butterflies. It is is excellent that Kaufman and Brock gave their efforts to photograph so many specimens, even some of the rarest species. One the rare butterflies, the best descriptions to identify them are given. If you think you've found an uncommon butterfly, consult this book. You will know, believe me. Stating that this is geared toward amateurs only is a complete understatement. Butterflies Through Binoculars is great, but this equals the other one, in specifics, photo quality, and field identification! Thank you Ken Kaufman.

This book is very helpful for finding the names of the butterflies you find. It's color marked pages help you find them fast. It has range maps an colors on the range maps so you know what season thay fly. It tells you what larval food thay eat.The butterflies are listed in groups. If you want to know more about butterflies you will like this book. I use this book almost every day.
