Arthropods (Arthropoda) » Insects (Insecta) » Butterflies and Moths (Lepidoptera)
A World for Butterflies: Their Lives, Habitats and Future
By Phillip J. Schappert
Firefly Books, 2000
A coffee-table book with a brain: excellent photos and good discussion of scientific topics. There is a lovely description of the Pipevine Swallowtail mimicry complex in North America, with photographs of most species involved. Has an extensive bibliography, including books and journal articles.

Has an accompanying website, which has not been updated recently, but is still available.

Caterpillars of Eastern Forests
By David L. Wagner, Valerie Giles, Richard C. Reardon, Michael L. McManus
U.S. Dept of Agriculture, Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team, 1998
Excellent reference on caterpillars. Has 200-300 color photographs of moth (mostly) and butterfly caterpillars. Includes, mostly, species that feed on trees and shrubs. Does not have a key, but it is fairly easy to flip through the illustrations looking for a caterpillar if the markings are distinctive.

A version is available on the web:

Caterpillars of Eastern Forests

May be out of print. I got mine from the US Government Printing Office, www.gpo.gov. (I contacted the website above in 2003, but they had no more copies available.)

INSECTS OF THE SOUTHWEST: Arizona, New Mexico, So. California
By Douglas D. Copeland
Self published by author, 2009
This is a neat photo book. There is no written information, but rather 715 color photographs of dragonflies, beetles, and moths mostly from Southern Arizona. It is an excellent book to have if you are interested in Southwestern insects. Somewhat like having a miniature museum at your fingertips sans collection info.
Available from bioquip (bioquip.com) for $25
