A field guide yes, but more than most. Simone Hébert Allard’s Manitoba Butterflies is visually magnificent. At the same time, the book is full of expert detail, and life history illustration, which has been notoriously hard to find. Her photographs and new information on butterflies of the far North, are a particularly valuable contribution.

In Manitoba Butterflies, Simone Hébert Allard has created a field guide to native butterflies that will be of interest to scientists, while still being accessible to amateur enthusiasts of all levels of experience. The species pages are clear and intuitive, and will be a pleasure to use in the field. This will be a must-have book for all serious butterfly enthusiasts (watchers, rearers, and collectors) in Western Canada and in the Northern Tier of States in the US.
