Butterfly enthusiasts, nature lovers, and curious general readers will perhaps be surprised to learn that Florida's butterfly fauna is unique-and that, until the appearance of this volume, there has been no adequate field guide for the butterflies of this region. This guide simplifiesidentification by illustrating only species found in Florida-using superb photographs of live butterflies coupled with detailed range maps and identification data. It also offers, with unprecedented detail, much information on flight times and abundances for each of five Florida subregions, including reports on 70 localities in which to find butterflies. Lastly, discussions of the foodplants for each species along with suggestions for attracting these species to one's garden make this work invaluable for all Florida gardeners interested in butterflies. | Butterflies through Binoculars: A Field Finding and Gardening Guide to Butterflies in Florida by Jeffrey Glassberg, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
