Butterflies and Moths of North America - This web site is maintained by the Big Sky Institute at Montana State University and the NBII Mountain Prairie Information Node. It is essential for butterfly gardeners. My recommendation, especially if you are new to butterflies, is to go to this site and navigate through the Map Search section to your state and/or county. There it lists every butterfly that could be found in your area. Then come back to my site for more information about the butterflies in your area that I include on my site.
