Most of the butterflies I see seem to be in this little book. I like common names which this book uses, The scientific names are still there, but back in the index.

Unlike the larger guides on butterflies, thisone covers some moths. ( )

A beautifully-illustrated guide to butterflies. Not comprehensive, but good for a child or beginner. ( )

This paperback is a wonderful field guide for the world of the winged creatures butterflies and moths. If it is information or identification one might need on either of these creatures, this book is the book for them. Any beginner to nature can use this book with ease. The sketches are detailed accurate and colorful.
This field guide is great for introducing the science process skill classification to a fifth grade class. This book could be used in science activity making a graphic organizer and introducing a dichotomous key. Each student could look at a collection of butterflies and moths, and then they could begin to try and classify what kind they have.
