Seen any Butterflies?

By Beth Burke | Friday, June 26, 2009, 01:29 PM

This time of year is a transition between the spring butterflies and the summer butterflies. Things to look for are Eastern Tail Blues, Great spangled fritillaries, Silvery Checker spots, many different croppers and many types of skippers. There should start to be more Monarchs and Swallowtails. As the two seasons over lap there will be a nice variety of butterflies to see. As we move into summer the monarchs and swallowtail will dominate. Butterfly season is always changing, each day there is something new to find. Keep watch daily to be able to spot the largest variety of butterfly species. Keep a list of the ones you find to look back on at the end of the season. Save the list from year to year and compare what you’ve seen over the springs and summers. Most of all have fun and enjoy these wonderful creatures.
