Product Review

This field guide is based upon decades of research and collecting throughout the state by the authors. This comprehensive treatment of Illinois butterflies provides species accounts of the more than 90 butterflies found in the state. Each account contains a succinct discussion of the distinguishing characteristics, natural history, and protection status of each species, all illustrated by more than 300 color photographs and distribution maps. Like its predecessors, the butterfly field guide is designed to be easily carried in a vest or coat pocket with a hard cover and case binding that will stand up to the rigors of outdoor use.
