Great little field guide,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Butterflies of Florida Field Guide (Our Nature Field Guides) (Paperback)
This is a great little field guide for many of Florida's commonly seen butterflies in the field and garden. One of the best features for beginning butterfliers is the inclusion of an actual aize silhouette for each species in the book. This is great for beginners to be able to tell whether a particular butterfly they are seeing could be a certain species in the book. For each species, there are pictures of the adult butterfly, most also have pictures of the larva, some have pictures of male and female if different, and all have information about favorite nectar plants and the larval/host plants. There is also a range map for each species so you can see if this butterfly is commonly seen in your area. This book is small and lightweight, making it easy to carry in the field. Also, the information can be used to plan your butterfly garden as well as identify the butterfly or caterpillar you are seeing. I highly recommend this book to beginners and experienced butterfliers alike. I have many years of experience identifying butterflies and gardening for butterflies and I still use this little book as a field reference and take it with me when I shop for butterfly plants.

my favorite butterfly book,
By Dora Darnley "DD" (Florida) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Butterflies of Florida Field Guide (Our Nature Field Guides) (Paperback)
This little field guide is my favorite butterfly book.The sections (which are divided by the color of the butterfly) make it very easy to find them. The geographic info for their locale in Florida is very helpful and the size which is shown as a shadow under the notes puts the butterfly into the proper category instantly. It tells you what larval plants to include in the garden for each butterfly which is very helpful when putting in another garden. I have loads of books but this is the one I keep by me and it's the one in which I keep my life list. It is also the one I just bought for my best friend's birthday.

Disappointing,

This review is from: Butterflies of Florida Field Guide (Our Nature Field Guides) (Paperback)
The field guide was disappointing because it only showed the common butterflies and very few of the South Florida specialties. I would not recommend it to anyone.
