Show Notes

We speak of butterfly plants and of making butterfly gardens, but how well do we really know the diversity of butterfly species that might visit those offerings? Butterflies, and especially how to sharpen our ID skills and become keener butterfly-watchers, were the topic of my recent chat with Dr. Jeffrey Glassberg, author of “A Swift Guide to Butterflies of North America,” among other books.

Glassberg is President of the North American Butterfly Association, and an adjunct professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology of Rice University.
