Milkweed, Monarchs and More: A Field Guide

I recently was visiting Cape May Observatory and found this little field guide, filled with great information, including all the different milkweeds, and the many Anthropods it supports, including especially insects and arachnids.


Their colorful Role Codes are fun, too, identifying visitors as herbivore, herbivore that eats milkweed, nectivore, predator, parasite, decomposer or passerby.

Here is a taste of what you will find inside:


It includes 2 pages devoted to the different ladybugs beetles you might find on milkweed. 

I highly recommend this book, especially if you enjoy milkweed, butterflies and insects.
