"This book contains the timeliest field data for the region, which is crucial as butterfly populations shift due to climate and habitat changes. The detailed maps and high-quality photos are technical enough for experienced field observers and accessible enough for beginners. A very valuable regional field guide."
– Rick Cech, author of Butterflies of the East Coast: An Observer's Guide

"This is the first definitive guide to this species-rich area of the United States. The authors provide a wealth of much-needed current information on the lives and ranges of these species. An excellent addition to any nature enthusiast's library."
