This is a “year in review” photo gallery, of the different butterflies I photographed in Wisconsin this past year. 2022 was an amazing year for some of the rare or uncommon strays to our state, especially in Milwaukee County. Those included Marine Blue, Reakirt’s Blue, Common Checkered Skipper, California Tortoiseshell, Gray Hairstreak and Variegated Fritillary. When looking at the photos, if you are interested to see where a specific butterfly was seen, please navigate to the individual pages from the gallery page. You can do that by clicking on Butterflies and choosing a the one you want to see. Also, there is a great website for Wisconsin butterflies, that has photos for each specie and a description to help ID them. In addition, you can submit your sightings throughout the year. That website is, Home — wisconsinbutterflies.org. Enjoy!
