About The Book

Wisconsin is dominated by lakes and forests, all of which have a decidedly northern flavor. Scattered among the often rugged landscapes are thousands of flowering plants that attract numerous dazzling butterflies. Throughout the blooming season, even casual observers can regularly see such standouts as Aphrodite Fritillary, Black Swallowtail, Milbert’s Tortoiseshell, and Monarch—and it’s not just butterflies making regular visits to flowers. The Badger 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, our 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 Wisconsin. Made in the USA.

Raves and Reviews

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. - Library Journal

“The Pocket Naturalist Guides quickly and easily introduces novice outdoorsmen to the wonders of animal and plant life, as well as other aspects of the wilderness.”
