"The Butterfly Guide: A Pocket Manual for the Ready Identification of the Commoner Species Found in the United States and Canada" by W. J. Holland is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive manual aims to assist readers in the identification of various butterfly species across North America, focusing primarily on those that are most commonly encountered. The work features detailed illustrations and descriptions of numerous species, making it a valuable resource for both amateur naturalists and entomologists alike. The opening of the manual outlines its purpose, detailing the drive behind creating a more accessible field guide following the success of Holland's previous works. It explains the significance of butterflies within the animal kingdom, introducing readers to the classification of these insects as part of the arthropods and their unique anatomical features. The preface also highlights the advances in printing technology that have allowed for more vivid and accurate representations of butterflies, which adorn the pages following the introductory remarks. Overall, this beginning establishes a foundation of knowledge that invites readers into the fascinating world of butterfly observation and study. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
