Featuring over 120 butterfly species documented in Maine and the Atlantic Provinces, this user-friendly atlas and guide features:
- The first annotated checklist of the species of Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island
- Detailed species accounts covering habitat, behavior, threats, and more
- Color photographs, flight histograms, and distribution maps
Co-authored by several researchers (including one of MDIFW’s own biologists, Phillip deMaynadier), much of the data informing this guide was contributed by community scientists like you!
By combining the results of two community science projects -The Maine Butterfly Survey and the Maritime Butterfly Atlas - the guide gives a more complete picture of butterfly distribution, abundance, flight seasons, and habitat requirements in Maine and the Canadian maritime provinces. The value of the data collected through public participation is evident in this exciting and indispensable new resource for scientists, naturalists, and casual observers alike.
