Checklist of the Butterflies of Massachusetts (updated 2015)

The Field Checklist of the Butterflies of Massachusetts is based on over 100,000 records from members of NABA-MBC, from 1990 to 2014. The checklist, produced by former NABA-MBC Records Keeper, Erik Nielsen, features:

  • charts of flight periods
  • whether a species occurs or not, in eastern/western/island MA
  • and overwintering status.
The checklist includes 111 of the approximately 125 species of butterflies that have been sighted in Massachusetts. Printed on heavy stock, this is a valuable document for both the beginning and advanced butterflier. It is folded into a handy pocket-sized card that can be easily carried in the field.

Checklists can be purchased for $1.50 each or 6 for $6.00 (postage included). Please print the form at this link MBC publication order form and send it along with your check to the address on the form.
