Book excerpt: Butterflies & moths of Chicagoland features over 80 butterfly and moth photographs taken by Mark Swanson in the Chicago, Illinois, area from 2002 to 2016.... The photos depict 75 different species in over 20 families and subfamilies of butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera). While it provides an excellent overview of the variety of lepidopterans found in Chicagoland, the book is not a field guide or complete checklist. Rather, it is a collection of photographic portraits and behavioral observations of selected individuals. Through close-up (macro) photography, the images capture moments in the lives of many individual butterflies and moths.--Page 5.
