Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This guide complements Alexander Klots's classic Field Guide to the Butterflies (1951). Largely following the sequence Klots sets up, it covers 512 species occurring west of the 100th meridian from Coahuila, Mexico, to the Arctic, and including Hawaii and Alaska. Research through 1983 has been incorporated. Excellent short opening chapters on studying butterflies, conservation, life cycle and physical structure, and zoological classification lead into the guide's species accounts, with photographs grouped in the center of the book. Many species included occur throughout the United States, making it a worthwhile addition to most library collections. Laurie Tynan, Huntingdon Cty. Lib., Pa.
