Butterfly Pictures and Information
Butterflies, Americans' favorite insects, continue to gain fans, especially with respect to wild butterfly identification.
The reasons for their popularity are simple, with the colorful wings of many species, plus the fact that both butterflies and people enjoy flowers and being outdoors on sunny days above 60o F, leading the list.
The North American Butterfly Association (NABA) suggests that the average person might be able to find up to one hundred different butterfly species within driving distance of their home.
It should be noted that those hypothetical one hundred butterfly species are often present only at specific points of time, usually from early spring through early fall.
