The Butterflies of West Virginia and Their Caterpillars (Pitt Series in Nature and Natural History), by Thomas J. Allen. 350 pages.
List price $22.95
Amazon price $16.47

This is a GREAT book for caterpillars, as well as pupae and adults. As far as I know, it is the most comprehensive identification book available so far for larvae. It is applicable to a much wider range than just West Virginia, and should be in every serious butterflier's collection of reference material.
