Painted Ladies

Butterflies of North America



The latest volume in the bestselling Pocket Nature Guide series covers what are perhaps the most colorful and beautiful of all nature's creatures, the butterflies.



Reminiscent of nineteenth-century botanical prints, the full-color illustrations in these small nature guides are miniature watercolors, as delightful to look at as they are accurate. Beneath each illustration the reader will find the popular and scientific names, size, range, and a concise description of the habitat or an interesting bit of lore. Ideal for the backpacker or dayhiker, the books fit handily in the pocket.
