Butterflies Through Binoculars: Florida - A Field, Finding and Gardening Guide (Paperback)

This is a new addition to Glassberg's celebrated Butterflies (and Others) through Binoculars series of field guides. As such, it rivals his earlier--and highly popular--Field and Finding Guide to Butterflies of the Boston-New York-Washington Region by providing an intensive focus on the butterflies and best butterflying sites for another highly populated and heavily traveled region. This time, the terrain in question is the state of Florida--one of the leading tourist destinations in the world. Butterfly enthusiasts, nature lovers, and curious general readers will perhaps be surprised to learn that Florida's specialized butterfly fauna is wholly unique within the United States. And until the appearance of this volume, there has been no adequate field guide for the butterflies of this region. Thus this guide's advantages are many and varied: it identifies butterflies as photographed throughout the state; it simplifies identification by limiting the species considered to those occurring exclusively in Florida; it covers several fascinating tropical species that can be found in both Florida and the Caribbean; and it lastly provides--with unprecedented detail--much useful data on Florida's flight times and abundances.
