Butterfly Guide Books

One of the essential ingredients in enjoying butterflies are the guide books. They help you try to identify what you are seeing or the one that got away. It's not always easy and it's not always successful, even for the seasoned butterfly watcher, but without one you've got no chance!

I generally like to have two butterfly guides - a small field guide that I can carry around with me in a backpack, and a larger, prettier version that gets stored on my shelves at home. That way I can more-or-less identify what I saw in the field and then follow up with more detail when I get home.

OK, OK, I put my hands up. I have more than one field guide and many more pretty books on my shelves at home! But then I love collecting books on butterflies. Well that's my excuse anyway.
