Butterflies & Moths: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar North American Species (A Pocket Naturalist Guide)

We like these folding guides.

Disappointed because only common caterpillar shown, a monarch. I was looking for a pocket guide with caterpillar, matching chrysalis and butterfly. Same for the moths.

Decent item but came bent, however, since I intended to use it as a pocket guide in the field that was not a huge concern.

This item was perfect for what I wanted!

Good, but general. I needed something more specific to the Northeast.

This is a useful little guide for identifying some of the most common butterflies, moths and caterpillars. It's not a complete reference for all-things-butterfly, but it's a slim, lightweight, laminated pamphlet that's perfect for taking on hikes, especially with younger kids who might just be interested in the names of the more commonly seen butterflies and moths. My 3-year-old daughter has learned enough from this that she can identify and tell the difference between Cabbage White and Mustard White butterflies when we see them flitting around.

I am an amateur photographer and I have several pictures of butterflies, etc. but not the names. This has helped considerably.
