Re: Good Book on Caterpillars

I had wondered about this too as many moth or butterfly field guides dont have the caterpillars ...infact the only one i found so far was a small collins pocket guide to butterflies.

It would be nice in guides to have the relevant caterpillar pictured with the moth or butterfly it grows into?...this makes sense to me ? but i bet someone will come back and reply to this telling me a dam good reason why they dont do this?

infact why dont they picture the egg of a bird next to its pic in a field guide too? that would be useful if you find an empty shell etc.
