Reviews
This guide is tailor-made to suss out vagaries of cloudywings or little brown job skippers from photos, notes or sketches made in the field. That's where its 900+ color photographs of pinned (not field) specimens outshines every other guide available for the mid-Atlantic, and where subtle differences in eye color or wing pattern or flight time can be studied and weighed in comparison. I can't think of a better resource for the photographer-naturalist with an interest in butterflies. It fully deserves its recognition as a winner in the 2017 National Outdoor Book Awards in the field book category.", "This work has all of the features that make field guides to a region's butterfly fauna useful to anyone with a serious interest in that fauna. . . . the book is a bargain and a must for anyone with an interest not just in Pennsylvania's fauna, but the northeast fauna as a whole."-- News of the Lepidopterists' Society
