Northwest Butterflies: Butterflies of Oregon: an updated atlas

NOW AVAILABLE...if you are at all interested in the butterflies of Oregon, this is must-have book! It is jam-packed with information and extremely useful maps. It is a 2-volume set, sold together for $95 by the lead author, Jeffrey C. Miller. Because it is self-published, it is only available through him, details below. As a self-publishing author myself, I know how hard (and expensive) it is to produce something like this. This 2-volume set is well worth the price!

Volume 1 contains single-page profiles of each butterfly species known to occur in Oregon, with a map showing dot records color-coded by subspecies, a representative dorsal and ventral photo of the species, and a short summary of information about it.

Volume 2 contains several map illustrations of geographical patterns, a number of maps with both butterfly and hostplant distribution records (much to my geography- and butterfly-rearing delight!) and so many other bits of information that I can't wait to read (I just got the book yesterday...).
