After more than 5 years of work, Bob Hardwick has completed his 4-part book The Butterflies of Washington. This comprehensive book covers all families of Washington State butterflies. In addition to photos, it contains descriptions of each of the species and subspecies of butterflies, flight times, and common places to see the butterflies. Photos are from museum specimens when they could not be found in the wild.
The book is 235 pages with 791 color photos. It is divided into four parts based on families. Bob has not found a reasonable way to get it published yet, but to WBA members, he will print copies at cost using high quality paper and ink for $110 each.
“The book includes some of our rarest butterflies not seen by many that venture out into our great northwest.”
