About this title

Synopsis

Authors Richard Bailowitz and Hank Brodkin give a species-by-species account of Arizona's butterflies, with recommendations for the best places to find them. They also provide a month-by-month guide to the best places to find butterflies throughout the year. All these factors make this book essential--it approaches finding butterflies by species, by region, and by season.

About the Author

Hank Brodkin has always been interested in nature, and by the end of World War II he was already an accomplished birder. In the early 90s birding friends introduced Hank and his wife, Priscilla, to the world of butterflies and butterfly watching. They soon traded in their birding binoculars for close-focus pairs, and first Priscilla, then Hank started photographing these creatures. They coauthored, with Bob Stewart, Butterflies of Arizona--A Photographic Guide. They live in Cochise County, Arizona.

Rich Bailowitz earned a bachelor's degree in music from Queens College in New York and then taught high school mathematics for thirty years. He completed his master's degree in entomology from the University of Arizona. He is the author of Butterflies of Southeastern Arizona, and 70 Common Butterflies of the Southwest, as well as numerous popular and peer-reviewed magazine and journal articles over the years.
