We're not just all about Longhorn Steers & such...Texas is the #1 state for Butterflies!
Yep- Butterflies. 425 species of the 725 known in the US reside here- or pass through at least, during migration. Yeah, some migrate from as far as the tropics at this time of year. We actually have
people flocking here to spot the cute little critters, and that's not too hard, since the butterflies seem to flock too! This last week seems to have been the height of the season, with swarms all over the place.
Butterfly gardens are springing up all across the state, especially in San Antonio. With the right plantings (see your local Garden Center) even your home can become a butterfly magnet. So now we have another season-
"Butterfly Season"

Will wonders never cease. Another thing that TX can be known for.
What's not to love about butterflies? I find them amazingly beautiful.
Love your photo--I stood in the same spot January 2009--what an amazing adventure.
Steve and Sara,
The Monarchs from Canada migrate there on their way to Mexico too. (They're the ones with the little Maple Leafs on their wings).
Hi- It's a beautiful sunny day here in San Antonio and I'm hoping to get out for a lttle more butterfly sighting. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope that you all have a few minutes to enjoy nature today as well!
How beautiful it must be to have butterflies all over the place during that time of year. Love butterflies!
