It is currently 27 degrees here in Hutto, Texas. Brrr.
What better time to review and share all my inaturalist.org confirmed butterfly sightings over the last year!
All of these pictures were taken in the HuttoParke subdivision in Hutto, Texas. I documented 38 different butterfly species. Rejoice! 
All but one species, the Great Purple Hairstreak, was spotted in a suburban yard. I found it at our neighborhood park on some Marsh Elder plants. I don't enhance photos other than to crop the size down and I use my iphone 6 to take the pictures. Enjoy the Butterflies!!

Wow, right? 

Add a few Texas native plants along with nectar shrubs and trees then BAM butterflies out the wazoo.  

These creatures are able to thrive in human dominated spaces if just given the chance. But that's a blog for another day.
