Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I pretty much love everything about this book, well almost everything. I was looking forward to identifying host plants to draw the butterflies that I most wanted to see. On each page, a few of the LARVAL host plants are listed for each butterfly but the ADULT host plants are all compacted onto a couple of pages at the end of book. And nowhere does it say which plants attract which butterflies. I was really disappointed about this as I wanted to plant specific butterfly-attracting plants in the hopes of attracting some of the more vibrant, perhaps lesser-seen butterflies. But since the plants are listed without telling which butterflies they most attract, I'm back at square one as far as planting my butterfly garden.
Having said that, this book is GREAT for identifying butterflies. I've taken a lot of wildlife photos over the last 3 years and have some of butterflies I hadn't identified. After I got this book I was able to check off 16 different butterflies that I've personally seen (and photographed.) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that there's a little box next to each butterfly in the index in the back of the book to check as you go, really neat. Overall, a great buy. It's my favorite book right now :o).
