Welcome to the revised and expanded website!

This website presents the butterflies I have documented in Starr County.

2/16 update: Skippers added. (That is, those I am fairly confident are correctly identified. But please inform me of any mistake!)

2/14 updates:

the Mexican Silverspot (caterpillar pictured below) emerged from its pupa on 2/13/08. A picture of the fresh butterfly has been added to the Mexican Silverspot "Life History" page.

Added picture of freshly emerged Gulf Fritillary to that "Life History" page.
