5.0 out of 5 stars Really good book!

This book was very helpful! All this time I thought it was a moth that was laying eggs on my collards it was an actual butterfly called a cabbage white!! I've seen experienced YouTube videos calling this butterfly a moth! I'm learning their habitat, favorite plants, and when I'll see them plus more! Really good book!

Wonderful book. I bought it for my grandson and I use it, too. We have milkweed galore in our yard and five different kinds of butterflies.

4.0 out of 5 stars guide d'identification moderne et bien illustré mais trop succinct
Reviewed in France on April 22, 2014
Verified Purchase
livret anglophone mince broché souple moyen format datant de 2000 destiné à un public débutant et traitant d'une vingtaine d'espèces de papillons nord-américains; quelques pages de généralités; chaque espèce est ensuite décrite à raison d'une par double page; à gauche, article succinct complété par une photo couleur de taille correcte; à droite, plusieurs dessins en couleur destinés à faciliter l'identification et trois notices systématisées concernant l'habitat, la nourriture et les plantes hôtes; pas de carte de distribution, pas de schéma de présence annuelle; enfin détail désolant, les noms scientifiques des espèces ne sont mentionnés ni dans les articles, ni dans la liste de contrôle en fin d'ouvrage, ce qui rend ce guide difficilement utilisable par le naturaliste; en conclusion, petit guide pour enfants non exhaustif (nombreuses espèces non traitées) qui, malgré la qualité indéniable de son iconographie, n'arrive pas à convaincre, ni par son texte, ni par son format inadapté au terrain et sans intérêt pour sa bibliothèque (de nombreux ouvrages plus complets existent)
