About this product

Product Information

Jeffrey Glassberg's acclaimed Butterflies through Binoculars guides have revolutionized the way we view butterflies. Now, Caterpillars in Field and Garden follows the same practical format, with the same emphasis on conservation, to help us identify caterpillars. Indeed, this is the most comprehensive guide to these creatures available, containing all the information necessary to find and identify the caterpillars of North America - from Two-Tailed Swallowtails to tiny Western Pygmy-Blues. Each caterpillar's key physical features, abundance, habitat, and major hostplants are listed on the same page as its photo. The book also contains a special section on how to set up a butterfly garden and raise healthy butterfly caterpillars.
