The butterfly guide
William Jacob Holland
Holland distilled his great butterfly book into a pocket companion for the field. This compact guide places butterflies in the animal kingdom, walks through their anatomy and life history, and helps identify them plate by labeled plate. Portable, clear, and made for the trail. Slip a butterfly expert into your pocket and head out into the meadow.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
