Thank you for the input. I hope to get a book soon that pictures many of the butterflies common to Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. I'm new to butterfly watching; however, it should would be nice to tell people who visit my garden the name of different butterflies that they see.

I've looked at several sites and several books. There are so many butterflies in the sulphur variety that you could just about go blind trying to figure out all the subtle differences.

We are out in the country so there is plenty of clover for them to eat.

I had loads of these butterflies on my cypress vine. I saw one in my yard 2 days ago so I guess some winter over here.

I also saw this little guy who you can just barely make out getting a drink from one of my violas. I guess this one is some kind of skipper.
