This book can definitely help the Michigan collector find and identify butterflies. Pictures of both the front and back of the butterfly are show for each species, and interesting variations (differences in male and female, hybrids) are shown as well. In addition, a map of the state divided into counties accompanies each butterfly, so you can figure out where that butterfly can be found. Finally, notes are given about the rarity of the butterfly--some have been recorded in Michigan only once, and others are considered strays. The great details given in this book have helped us correctly identify many butterflies that a more general guide to butterflies couldn't help us with. This book sets a high standard for all regional books on butterflies!

Very well done! The photos are excellent and clear. The information is concise and well written. 'Mo' Nielsen is well-respected in the field of Lepidoptera and has produced a publication worthy of his reputation. The only fault in editing I have found is a photo of a living butterfly misidentified as Edward's Hairstreak (it is actually the very similar Banded Hairstreak). A long-awaited work!
