Wondering what butterflies you can attract?

I know I was wondering, then I found this site.. just enter your zip code and it will tell you.. makes planting easier.

I have seen most of these in my yard, so it is somewhat accurate.. enjoy!

It is a handy tool. For my yard in Portland, Oregon, of the 21 butterflies appearing in that website zip code tool, 7 are possibilities.

One of the impossibilities: Eastern Tiger Swallowtail!!

I love the way that website is organized. The thumbnails are very helpful. I think it's pretty accurate for my zip. I didn't see any impossibilities but I'm not familiar with a lot of the smaller butterflies like skippers. It lists 59 for me and there's at least 35 of those that I've seen in my yard. Butterfliesandmoths.org lists 116 different butterflies for my county. I didn't count the moths.

Eastern Tigers are not even Close to you Larry Gene. Wonder how they got that one in there.
