Fort Worth Backyard Butterflies June - July 2007
These butterflies have been observed and photographed in our backyard garden on Shirley in Fort Worth over June and early July We have observed and identified 22 species so far. But there are still many other butterfly species that have been reported in Tarrant Country for us to watch for. We used our Minolta D-500 digital camera with resolution set to 2048 x We have identified the butterflies from the excellent website Butterflies and Moths of North America hosted and maintained by the Big Sky Institute at Montana State University and the NBII Mountain Prairie Information Node.
