Northwest Ohio Butterfly Pictures

Everyone loves butterflies and butterfly pictures.  How could you not like a butterfly?  They're colorful, they aren't afraid of humans, and they just kind of float around all day looking for a flower to land on.  Kids like to chase them and they don't bite if you catch one.

Northwest Ohio is best known for its re-established population of karner blue butterflies.  But there are a lot of others here too.  The picture gallery below contains pictures of different butterfly species that can be seen in and around Northwest Ohio.
