Sounds like a good plan Sheila!!! Keep me in mind - will gladly show you around all the butterfly hotspots!!! I always take my vacation time around the festival period :o) That way I can help out with the field trips as well as bum around the parks hanging out with other butterfliers.

Keep in mind our butterfly festival is usually the 3rd week in October, starts on a Thursday and runs through the weekend. Lots of folks from all over the US, Canada and even some from over seas make it down here. We get several of the butterfly and caterpillar book authors to give seminars/talks and guide a few of the tours. Excellent time to meet and greet and ask questions :o)

Look at the belly of this bugger!!! I tell you - the Falcon Butterfly Park is an oasis for butterflies. The area hundreds of acres of native Tamaulipan scrub brush so the garden full of blooming eupatorium, lantana, plumbago and what not brings them in from miles and miles away :o)
