Butterflies are fascinating little creatures. From the extremely showy to the deceptively plain, there is a wide variety butterfly species in Ontario and Eastern Canada.

In Butterflies of Ontario, butterfly expert John Acorn and renowned illustrator Ian Sheldon aim to inspire readers and nature lovers to get out and get to know their local butterflies:

* user-friendly format, including a Quick Reference Guide for easy identification * identifying features, wingspan, habitat and flight season for each butterfly * butterfly biology and natural history * detailed illustrations and supplementary photos

With his signature witty, yet no-nonsense prose, John Acorn guides readers through the sometimes murky, always interesting world of butterflies.
