About The Book

Florida’s subtropical climate and rich patchwork of ecosystems make it one of North America’s best places to learn about butterflies. Throughout the year, even casual observers can regularly see such standouts as Zebra Longwing, Sleepy Orange, Great Purple Hairstreak, and Zebra Swallowtail—and it’s not just butterflies making regular visits to flowers. The Sunshine State is packed with great places for observing bats, 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 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, this 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 Florida. 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

Waterford’s Pocket Guides transform a walk on the beach or a hike in the woods into a rich opportunity. - Homemakers Magazine
