Identifying butterflies
I was trying to identify two butterflies earlier today using the butterfly books in my nature library. What a chore! To the rescue comes the Internet and a simple Google search.
I found an awesome site that is straightford, easy to use, and accurate:
Give it a shot next time you’re trying to identify a butterfly.
In fact, try it right now with the following five butterflies:
SNIPPETS are short posts about anything and everything.
Each SNIPPETS will have at leasst one picture.
After all, this is Russel Ray Photos.

Did I get them all correct? Wally
You did that very quickly! I told you it was a great site! lol
Fantastic! I used this *exact* site…as well as one devoted to Florida Flutterbys…when I was trying to identify some butterflies I had photographed, awhile back. Tough job, when you don’t know much about them…
I was trying to identify a couple of butterfly pictures on another forum this morning, but the pictures were mere snapshots, poor pictures. With Gardens With Wings it was much easier than I thought it would be, and the puzzled person was quite impressed.
fantastic……… very much impressed with this collection
You know girls like sparkly things….how cool is that!
I knew there would be a few of my readers who liked those sparkly butterflies. They were for sale, too. Tens of thousands of dollars each.
I am a broke artist so would you leave me one in your will?
You’re presuming that they are mine! I wish! They were at the “All That Glitters” exhibition at the San Diego Museum of Natural History. The exhibit ended in April.
I am soooo jealous.
Wow fantastic fantasy butterfly, if possible to broach
or something to decorate the hair on the head, or for photos, like this. Cool. Thank you so much for stopping in my blog, I appreciate it
Let’s see, maybe I can at least get their types: milkweed, frittilaries, not sure, long-wing and whites/sulphurs? Thanks for linking the site. Fun and beautiful! The artistic renditions and your photo renditions of the renditions are cool too. I can’t remember the last time I used the word renditions.
Thanks for this! I bookmarked the link since I was just thinking about what to plant to attract certain butterflies.
