Event Summary:
Presentation follows business meeting.

Event Description:
Much like birding, butterfly watching affords practitioners the opportunity to connect to the natural world and learn about the interconnectedness of life on earth. In addition, many of the skills and techniques developed for bird identification can be successfully applied to the study of butterflies. In this presentation, Zachary Tonzetich will discuss some of the basics about how to get started in butterfly watching, describe some identification tips, and recount his personal experiences finding butterflies in Bexar County over the last five years.
Central Texas boasts an impressive number of butterfly species encompassing six out of the seven families that make up the superfamily Papilionoidea (Butterflies). This presentation will focus on the more common species found in our area, but will also touch on some examples of rarer species that occasionally show up in Bexar County. Resources for learning and identifying butterflies will also be highlighted.
