Fort Worth Backyard Butterflies

Fort Worth Backyard ButterfliesJune - July 2007

These butterflies have been observed and photographed in our backyard garden on Shirley in Fort Worth over June and early July 2007. 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 1536.

We have identified the butterflies from the excellent website
