Butterflies in Arkansas

We've been participating in butterfly monitoring near our home in Texas for almost a year, so it was almost instinctive to watch for butterflies while we were vacationing in northern Arkansas last fall. Still, we were surprised to find so many butterflies...


Orange Sulphur

Variegated Fritillary

Pearl Crescent

Question Mark

Common Buckeye

Gemmed Satyr

Dainty Sulphur

Northern Pearly-Eye

    These pictures are something I should bookmark for next spring and summer. They are almost like a butterfly ID poster. Fantastic!

    I love butterflies but hate those butterfly conservatories! I get creeped out thinking I might step on one.

    Beautiful pictures! It was a lovely taste of summer right in the middle of winter. It is interesting how once you begin noticing things, you can't stop seeing them.

    lovely shots! used to be lots of swallowtails here (Oregon), but overlogging has done a number on them...

    I love to look at butterflies, but I've never applied myself to learning their names. They seem so magical, as if they are not natural like birds. Silly thought!

    Have fun on New Year's Eve, and have a good 2022.

    One thing i haven't trained myself to do is look for butterflies, but i need to. Bees i notice, but i don't specifically look for the butterflies.

    Thank you for sharing the pictures and names!
