Butterflies in Maryland

Here's a comprehensive list of Butterflies you can find in Maryland. Thanks to www.butterfliesandmoths.org for putting such a great comprehensive list together!
Now that I've started this, I've been trying to capture pictures of the butterflies (and their caterpillars) from my own yard. Did you find some in yours? Please email them to me and I'll share them on the site!
