Backyard Butterflies Book Available
Well, that took longer than expected, but we finally have a lot of copies of our backyard butterfly guide. I find that I need to re-teach myself every fall, so think of this is an advanced tutorial. I also always wished for a book that showed me all the stages of a butterfly, which is much deeper detail than field guides usually provide. Most of the photos are mine, but I was able to source photos I didn’t have from the INaturalist community. You can order a copy from us here.
The video below is a playlist of all of our butterfly videos: one should roll right into another.

Here is a comprehensive list of the books I think everyone should read about butterflies, with affiliate links to Amazon and links to the websites themselves.
The Blues and Hairstreaks are smaller butterflies. They often rub their hindwings together. The hairstreaks have long filaments on their tails that often look like antennae, occasionally confusing predators to take a bite out of the wrong end!
