With Butterfly Day just 11 days away, we have compiled a Butterfly Checklist for DeKorte Park, combining our observations over the past four years with the North American Butterly Association's checklist for DeKorte Park (Thanks, NABA!)
The list is below — copy and paste to make your own checklist.
You can also download our free "Butterflies of DeKorte Park" brochure, featuring photos of the most common butterflies seen in the park.
(We know, enough with the Monarchs already!)
