My Favorite Caterpillar Guides

I rated these guides based on my own experience. However, if you are serious about the subject and gardening in general you should probably have both of them.

My #1 Guide:

Caterpillars in the Field and Garden: A Field Guide to the Butterfly Caterpillars of North America

My #2 Guide:

Caterpillars of Eastern North America: A Guide to Identification and Natural History (Princeton Field Guides)

Although this one has 1,200 color photos and over 500 pages long, I still prefer the above one as it appears more handy and the info is better organized. But this one is a very good option too. And customer reviews are very positive as well.

Monarch Butterfly Emerging

Coming out of the pupa and spreading wings isn’t easy, the newly born butterfly needs much strength. Now you see why caterpillars eat so much!
