Welcome to our online home!
We are BEST, the local chapter of
the North American Butterfly Association (NABA),
an international, non-profit organization. Like
NABA chapters all across the continent, we work
to increase public enjoyment and conservation of
butterflies, by focusing on the joys of
non-consumptive, recreational butterflying
including; listing,
gardening, rearing,
conservation and photography. |

International
BEST Butterfly Field Trip
The first
International BEST butterfly field trip is rapidly
approaching. The trip will begin
on Saturday 8th in McAllen Texas and
return on the Wednesday 12th.
The all inclusive trip will begin at the
Drury Inn where a bus will pick us up and transport
us into the Sierra Madres Occidental in Northeastern
Mexico. We will be checking out
butterflies around the El Cielo Biosphere Reserve.
It will be a great opportunity to see some
really exotic bugs and also the birding is awesome.
This group has put this together at our
request and it is open to all and we have invited
others not in our club to join us.
So, it is also an opportunity to met others
with like interest.
Our group will be lead
by the highly reputable Sonia Ortiz.
It is the same folks that put on the
butterfly and birding festival each year.
It is a great experience for all.
It will be a field trip that you will
treasure for years to come. Check out the website
and you can also register online.
