Just saw this mentioned on a listserve--I don't have a copy. It looks like it could be very useful. Despite the 2005 publication date, it is apparently already available.

Excellent Field Guide
Has *superb* images of every genus (and most species) of butterfly larva north of Mexico.

Saw this awhile back
Unfortunately I think it will only feature butterfly caterpillars. Still, I'm sure it will be useful and I plan to get it when it's available.

Not yet released
Apparently, it can be ordered now and will be shipped when available. Currently, only a picture of the cover is displayed at Amazon; there's no review available and the contents can't be previewed, which is too bad: I'd be interested in a good field guide to caterpillars but - as with any book - would like to at least browze the contents before buying it sight unseen.
