This pocket-sized guidebook by entomologist Daniels (Univ. of Florida; Native Plant Gardening for Birds, Bees & Butterflies: Southeast), organized by color, offers a wealth of information. Introductory sections cover butterfly body parts, wing structure, life cycle, observation tips, and Q&A. Each of the almost 200 entries includes species name, wingspan, wing markings above and below, larva markings, host plants, range, and relative abundance (rare; occasional; common). A comments section denotes flight styles, feeding patterns, and congregation points. Photos accompany each entry, most taken by Daniels. Additional resources, like comparison notes for butterflies that look similar and a section of caterpillar photos, add utility.VERDICT A compact and useful guidebook for libraries in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.—Maggie Knapp, Library Journal
