Send us your inquiry with a picture and we will find the answer for you!

Or, visit the USGS Butterflies of North America-Ohio, which has many photos of butterflies found in Ohio. E-nature.com also has a variety of online field guides searchable by region, color, size and several other facets.

Tip: There are several species of moths in the family, Saturniidae are frequently confused with butterflies because they are large and colorful like many butterflies. Some of these species are the Royal Walnut Moth, Imperial Moth, Luna Moth, and Polyphemus Moth.

The USGS Northern Prairie Research Center provides photos of all of these species as well as life history and distribution information.
