“SE Nebraska Butterflies, Where and When to see them”

by Wildlife Photographer, Stephen Hassler

Butterflies are beautiful pollinators. Some, like Monarch, are known to migrate, but some adults enter a state of “diapause”, like hibernation, and come out of shelter on a warm day in March, and sometimes February, along most wooded paths and hiking trails near the river. I have selected approximately 125 of my best photographs from thousands that I have taken over the last 20 years; Monarchs, Swallowtails, Fritillaries, and more, featuring twenty-five varied species native to Southeast Nebraska.
