The Butterflies of Hagerman NWR and Grayson County Introduction to Butterfly Watching
During butterfly season (April through November) butterfly sightings will be reported so visitors will know what to look for in our beautiful butterfly garden. Also, watch for our Butterfly Walk Events throughout the summer: bring the family to learn about native plants, caterpillars and butterflies from our garden docents.
Guides to butterflies that may be found during the following months and where to look for them: |
