A very affordable guide for beginners on Lepidoptera ('leps') is the
Golden Guide to Butterflies and Moths. It is fairly comprehensive
regarding showing important groups, and the Latinized names can be
found listed by page just before the index at the back. Also there
are lots of colour pictures of caterpillars, which are big bonuses.
Also get hold of the Halifax Field Naturalists checklist of Nova
Scotia butterflies (by Linda and Peter Payzant), which is a bit dated
now but still current (and I think there is an up-to-date Web-site
kept up by the Payzants?).
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
