Forword by Peter Taylor
Saskatchewan Butterflies illustrates the colour, variety and allure of all 158 butterfly species found in the province to date – a vivid reflection of our varied natural areas, from northern bogs and forests, through wildflower meadows, prairies and gardens, to badlands and the high plateaus of the Cypress Hills. This thoughtfully crafted guide blends plentiful high-quality photos and specially designed identification plates with concise text and
distribution maps to help you find and identify butterflies.
Additional background information will build your understanding of a butterfly’s life cycle and why native habitat is so critical to butterfly survival. (Hint: Caterpillars can be very picky eaters!) Other features include advice on butterfly gardening, and pictorial and quick indexes to help you navigate easily.
The authors have drawn on information generated by scientists and butterfly enthusiasts over many years to produce a comprehensive and engaging field guide that also effectively documents the status of butterflies in Saskatchewan. Whether you are a butterfly expert, an avid nature lover or simply butterfly curious, prepare to be captivated!
