This app shows the 70 most common butterfly species found in the Southwest of the US. For each species there are three high-resolution pictures (also of the larvae, if available), a brief description of its size (wingspan), significant features, host plant(s), and flight season. Included is a link to view the corresponding Wikipedia pages within the application window. All descriptive information is in English, the butterfly species and family/subfamily names are also shown in scientific (Latin) nomination.

The app features a modern, intuitive interface with easy navigation and search facilities for finding a butterfly by its name or searching in the full text for features and characteristics. You can also narrow down the search by color and family.
