Overview
Virginia has a varied terrain spanning the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coast along Chesapeake Bay, all of which support various flowering plants and their attendant butterflies. Throughout the year, even casual observers can regularly see such standouts as Gulf Fritillary, Zebra Swallowtail, Northern Metalmark, Common Buckeye, and Zarucco Duskywing--and it's not just butterflies making regular visits to flowers. The Old Dominion State is packed with great places for observing 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 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 Virginia. Made in the USA.

"""The ""Pocket Naturalist Guides"" are colorful, pocket-sized, laminated, folded guides (31/2"" x 81/4"" folded, open to 22"" x 81/4""), designed to be taken into the wilderness. They cover states and wilderness regions, some featuring all wildlife and some much more focused (e.g., butterflies, ducks). Yes, they'll require creative shelving (we put ours in an old map box next to the other field guides), and their life span may be shorter than your average field guide, but their quality, low price, and variety are worth the inconvenience.""--Library Journal ""Waterford's Pocket Guides transform a walk on the beach or a hike in the woods into a rich opportunity.""--Homemakers Magazine"
