S. Lane: This book has so much information in it about butterflies and moths. I love the information it provides: scientific name, caterpillar info, host plants, location to be found. It contains pictures of all the butterflies and moth and some caterpillars. I gave this book 4 stars because I’d like to see pictures of all the caterpillars along with its butterfly. I would also find it a little easier to go through if the was set up by location rather than species. But overall very informative about butterflies and moths of the world.
