This review is from: Butterflies of the North Woods: Minnesota, Wisconsin & Michigan (North Woods Naturalist Guides) (Paperback)
This was an impulse purchase, but I am very pleased with this guide to butterflies. Great photos make identification easy and I love that every entry provides information about lifecycle and host plants.If you live in the North Central U.S. and enjoy butterflies I highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Butterflies of the North Woods: Minnesota, Wisconsin & Michigan (North Woods Naturalist Guides) (Paperback)
I cannot say enough about the North Woods guides. These books cover the Great Lakes states that border Canada -- generally a little farther north than the region I'm in near Chicago, but many of the species are applicable throughout the upper Eastern U.S. If you live in a state as far south as Missouri, Kentucky, or Virginia, for example, I suspect you'll find that a number of these 125 species will be present in your region.Butterflies of the North Woods provides introductory chapters that explain butterfly biology and behavior, and tips on butterfly observation, in addition to a nicely laid out guide to species. The book ends with helpful appendices, including a species checklist and information about favorite foods of butterflies, binocular specs sorted by brand (for butterfly watching), species sorting by habitat, and other resources. The photographs in the species guide are beautiful and reasonably large. I'm glad the guide includes a map with each butterfly, even if it only covers the upper Great Lakes region. The descriptions are easy to follow, even for an amateur, but it is suitable for any naturalist in my opinion. This author, Larry Weber, also wrote Spiders of the North Woods, another of my favorite guides. As far as I'm concerned, he's covered the two coolest animal groups on earth.

If you collect or photograph in northeastern Minnesota, and need to identify to species, this guide is invaluable for the common specimens you will encounter.
