Finding Butterflies in Arizona: A Guide to the Best Sites

With rare exception it pretty much covers all the good collecting areas that I know about, but I've only visited relatively few of the spots mentioned in the guide, and that is an incentive for me to spend the next 15 years trying to visit all the spots the authors cover.
