Butterflies & Other Insects
Slide Shows from my Webshots Page:
Albums from my Picasa Page:
Years ago we rarely saw a
butterfly or a hummingbird
moth. There were bees
around, but none close to
the house. This was
because I didn't really
have a lot of flowers
around. I had
hummingbird feeders to
attract the hummingbirds,
but no flowers to speak of.
I had been into gardening
many years ago but my job
and family life got in the
way and the gardening
went by the wayside.
During the past couple of
years I have renewed my
love of gardening and am
now designing the
gardens around my home
to attract butterflies, bees
and hummingbird moths.
Even though I have a long
way to go in developing
my gardens, the results so
far have been exciting!
So far I've positively
identified 16 species of
butterflies and 3 species
of hummingbird moths
that frequent the flower
beds around my home. I
have a lot of plans for my
yard for this summer and
hope to attract more and
more as time goes by.

Whenever possible, I visit
Butterfly World in Coconut
Creek, FL and The Butterfly Place
in Westford, MA. Obviously
Butterfly World is a huge,
gorgeous park and The Butterfly
Place is much smaller in
comparison, but The Butterfly
Place is a great place to visit,
and you don't have to travel to
Florida to see beautiful
butterflies if you live in the
northeast as I do. If you are ever
in Massachusetts, do yourself a
favor and spend a leisurely
morning or afternoon at The
Butterfly Place.
All photos below were taken at
The Butterfly Place on 04/01/05.
