Anyone who wants butterflies in their backyard or garden should hope for caterpillars too!
If you see caterpillars in your area, keep this convenient guide close at hand. Designed for ease of use, the booklet is organized by butterfly or moth, then by family. Narrow your choices based on a caterpillar’s physical characteristics, and view just a few species at a time to ID the insect—and see what kind of butterfly or moth it becomes.
