About this site

Hi! I’m Mike Reese. Any questions? If you don’t see the answers here, just contact me.

This site grew out of my effort to learn more about the butterflies of Wisconsin. Since its beginnings in 2000 as “Butterflies of Waushara County", it has grown to encompass not only the whole state of Wisconsin, but also various other insects (dragonflies, damselflies, and tiger beetles).

I hope the site can help others learning about and identifying these insects, both in Wisconsin and wherever the species are found.
