My favorite butterfly field guide for the west. I've read this several times over, and continue to pick it up for reference time and time again. Best part is, you won't find dead museum specimens in this book; they're all live butterflies shot in their habitat!

I love the photos, and that the book lists more or less all species, not just a selection of common ones.
