2015 was the summer of butterflies. As part of my internship in New Brunswick, I kept track of the butterflies I came across while out in the field. On fair-weathered weekends, I spent my time searching for more in parks and at gardens. I was lucky to be able to photograph (with varying quality) each species of butterfly that I found, so that they could be submitted to the Maritimes Butterfly Atlas. I only missed a few species that I hoped to see out east, but I learned a tonne this summer and I look forward to next year’s search.

Lovely post. Obviously many differences from what we see here in Alberta, but there are a few of them that are cross-country. Neat to know.
I’ve explored butterflies in the north and east. I would love to go west in the near future. Thanks for viewing!
Great series.
