If you haven't seen them yet, go to Amazon books and search for "Butterflies of Alabama." The first is by Paulette Ogard with incredible photos by Sara Bright. It is large (almost 500 pps), but has pictures of all stages.The other is by Mike Howell and Vitaly Charny. It is more of a field guide and reads like the book on the butterflies of the Great Lakes. Although specifically geared toward Alabama, they will provide great information on the South generally and TN and MS specifically. Craig M.
