• Life list of all butterflies for which I have a specific date for the sighting and photos.
• (Mostly midwestern butterflies; not including the Colorado butterfly collection or European butterflies, linked separately below)
  

• Glacier National Park (Montana) Admirals photographed together, 1999
• Gothic/Crested Butte Colorado butterfly collection from 1974  (I have a fairly well-preserved mountain butterfly collection which I have photographed and documented here.)
  
• A few European butterflies.  Living in Germany in 1992 - 1993 and on shorter business trips to Europe, I have frequently watched the European butterflies and identified some of the common and conspicuous ones such as the Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock Butterfly.  On a recent trip to CERN, with a copy of Butterflies of Europe (by Tom Tolman and Richard Lewington) and a camera, I made a more serious attempt to identify some of the common landscape butterflies in the area around CERN.  This page summarizes that start at learning more of the European butterflies.
