Book Reviews of Peterson First Guide to Caterpillars of North America
Book Review: wonderful quick guide / fairly complete for how small it is
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this guide on a whim (for myself, as an adult) as I was starting to get interested in caterpillars. It's not complete enough to have every caterpillar you'd find in it (for that you want "Wagner's Caterpillars of Eastern North America", which I recently bought, but WOW is it big!). But, when I gave this book away to a neighbor with kids, I missed it so much I bought it again! It's a great book with not only illustrations of the caterpillar, but also the moth or butterfly it will become (something lacking in Wagner's book, because all moths are illustrated with their wings flat (and not necessarily how they land when you observe them)). All in all, this is a great beginners book and also one for the more advanced observe to keep around for helping introduce the pasttime to neighbors and kids! It packs in a lot of information of the most commonly found caterpillars.
