thanks for posting this NEWisc

they don't have a publication closer to my area, but this is sorta close.
I found this information most interesting, and figured it was worth a bump up.

Does anyone here have a membership in the North American Butterfly Association? I've been considering joining to receive their two membership magazines:

Butterfly Gardener
Butterfly Gardener

American Butterflies
American Butterflies Magazine

Do you enjoy the magazines? Are they informative?
