5.0 out of 5 starsI love this book
By Li Roth on January 13, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
There aren't many books out there that feature quality photographs identifying butterflies and caterpillars by species. This book does that and more. Although it only features those species that occur in the region in which the authors live (Kentucky is their home state,) the book shows clear pictures of each life stage: egg, caterpillar in both early and late stages, chrysallis, and adult butterfly.

Each species also has useful information listed in the text, such as known host plant(s) and favored nectar plants. There are also some additional species shown as adults in the back of the book for which the authors have yet to photo-document an entire life cycle.

I have seen this listed as a children's book, and it would be appropriate for many children, but I find it quite beautiful and informative enough to be suitable for adults as well.

I've been gardening for birds, butterflies and bees for years now. One of my successes was having Black Swallowtail caterpillars the very first year I grew dill for them. But when I bought this book I was able to locate and identify the tiny eggs, and observe the entire life cycle of this species.

I live in the Mid-Atlantic region, and most of the butterflies profiled in the book also occur in my area. Some species profiled occur over most of the U.S.--like the Monarch and Painted Lady-- but some are more limited in range. If you live on the Pacific coast, for instance, you might not see many of these butterflies. The photos are still beautiful. The insects featured are still fascinating. And the format of the book is user-friendly.

By J. Smith on September 5, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this for my five-year-old for her birthday to accompany the butterfly kit. Some info is a little advanced, but most of it, she understands and is fascinated by it. The photographs are great, and the layout is spot on.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful Resource
By Barbara R. Garrett on January 30, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
For anyone interested in butterflies this is a must for your library. Simple enough for a four-year-old to enjoy it will also appeal to the serious butterfly gardener who wishes to establish a habitat for these lovely creatures. I will enjoy it over and over. It also will make a great gift to your school library or just to a friend. This Master Gardener gives it an A+.

By Belinda J. Ambrose on August 18, 2006
Format: Hardcover
A most excellent book both photographic and informational. The authors are very interested in this subject and are happy to answer questions from readers. No other book has this type of photographic reference for eggs, caterpillars and host plants. Can't say enough positive things about this one!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Life Cycles of Butterflies
By Donald H. Miller on April 5, 2007
Format: Paperback
The best book I've read on butterflies. Excellent pictures to identify

each butterfly as well as the egg and caterpillar. Also extremely

helpful is the listing and photo of host and nectar plants for each

butterfly. I purchased another one to give my grandson for his birthday.

5.0 out of 5 starswonderful picture book for butterflies
By Amazon Customer on July 26, 2006
Format: Hardcover
Great photography with the text laid out in a friendly format to let the viewer see things about butterflies they wouldn't normally see.

This is not the be-all end-all butterfly book but it certainly one of the prettiest. Great for kids and adults.

I'm adding it to my collection.
