Overview
Texas has a varied terrain and a diverse array of coastal and inland habitats that support a remarkable assemblage of flowering plants. These, in turn, attract over 400 species of butterflies. Throughout the year, even casual observers can regularly see such standouts as Giant Swallowtail, Julia, Queen, White Peacock, and Monarch--and it's not just butterflies making regular visits to flowers. The Lone Star State is packed with great places for observing bats, hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, and beetles. This diverse assortment of animals collectively plays essential ecological roles while supporting the production of staple food crops for humans. Learning about pollinators and the fascinating lives they lead is endlessly enriching. Given the remarkable diversity of species, it's handy to have quick access to a portable, reliable reference. This beautifully illustrated resource features over 100 common and familiar species, as well as a back panel map showing top pollinator-viewing hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the perfect companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and gardeners who wish to learn more about the pollinators they are most likely to encounter in Texas. Made in the USA.
