Butterflies & Moths In Your Area

While butterflies and moths, are not commonly of as pets and yet we find ourselves drawn to their beauty and lifecycles. Many different species are found throughout the world and indentification sometimes is simple just be color and size, but other times we must research through books and pictures, and websites to identifiy a butterfly or moth that we have captured.
If your hobby is the collection and saving of butterflies and moths, then indentification becomes even more important than simply enjoying the graceful beauty of these insects.
