Massachusetts Butterfly Club

The Massachusetts Butterfly Club sponsors state-wide butterfly activities to promote education, conservation, interpretation, and fun! We invite people of all ages and levels of expertise to attend our meetings, programs, field trips, and butterfly counts and to become members of our club.

Several club members will team up with Massachusetts Audubon Society sanctuaries to offer butterfly-related classes and workshops this year. Details are accessible on the Butterfly Institute page of this website.

We have posted 500+ new butterfly photos recently...take a look at your favorite species and see if you can spot them. Hint: New photos always get posted at the bottom of a species page. Their thumbnail photos appear after those of the older photos. Many thanks to Frank Model for cropping the newer photos and doing the metadata prep work! Stay tuned for more new photos!
