About The Book

Across Pennsylvania’s forests, wetlands, and grasslands are thousands of species of flowering plants, which attract almost 150 species of butterflies. Throughout the blooming season, even casual observers can regularly see such standouts as Red-spotted Purple, Hackberry Emperor, Zebra Swallowtail, and Monarch—and it’s not just butterflies making regular visits to flowers. The Keystone 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 and 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 Pennsylvania. Made in the USA.

Waterford’s Pocket Guides transform a walk on the beach or a hike in the woods into a rich opportunity. - Homemakers Magazine

“Waterford's Pocket Guides transform a walk on the beach or a hike in the woods into a rich opportunity.”

– Homemakers Magazine

“The “Pocket Naturalist Guides” are colorful, pocket-sized, laminated, folded guides (3½" x 8¼" folded, open to 22" x 8¼"), 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.”
