Publisher's Synopsis
Butterflies of Vermont is a new and comprehensive field guide which goes beyond simple identification. Many guides mention host plants preferred by specific butterflies, but Butterflies of Vermont includes photos of those plants, so the reader can identify them in the field. You may know that White Turtlehead is the host plant for the Baltimore Checkerspot, but if you don't know what the plant looks like it isn't going to help while you are in the field.
This guide has all the necessary information at hand. The details for an individual butterfly are included within the body of the guide, including a description, flying times, habitat and multiple photographs. For those who want less detail, there is also a quick photo guide which covers all butterflies likely to be found in Vermont, including their habitat and host plants.
Butterflies of Vermont is meant to be used. It's small size means it can be carried easily and the information within it will help identify butterflies and their likely surroundings. Use this field guide to increase your love and understanding of these beautiful insects.
