 Rating:  - A SUPER bargain for what you get - It's Awesome!This little book's awesome. It's a great beginner's book, and even if you're not a beginner, chances are you'll find it useful. It's good for an intro to species, and since there are few moth books around, I find the moth section very helpful. For such a small book, obviously you won't have a whole lot of species, but it's got some of the most conspicuous, common, and interesting ones. Also, it's got animals from the major families, so at least if you see an unfamiliar animal, you have an idea ...

If people don't stop killing caterpillers and destroying their food supply there wont be any more butterflies or moths. All of Golden's guide books are very plain and to the point. I find them easy to use. Rating:  - Great info in a very small (and portable) packageI bought this, along with several others, to supplement my daughter's science and language curricula. The best feature is the portability - it fits right into her coat or pant pocket! I've seen better guides, but they are much larger and cost up to 4x more. We're quite pleased and recommend the book to others. Rating: - fine pocket guideThis is a nice pocket-sized handbook for identifying, collecting and raising butterflies, skippers and moths. The introductory chapter describes the order Lepidoptera and details the equipment needed for capture and care of these lovely creatures, and includes a short bibliography. Subsequently, color and b&w drawings of adults, pupae and caterpillars along with distribution maps of North America help with identification, and short paragraphs give information about feeding and regional variations. ...
