Every once in a while, we have to take the time to step back and enjoy the creepy crawlies surrounding us.  There are few people who don't admire the beauty of a butterfly, and so I would like to dedicate this post to some of the beautiful species found in North America.  There are over 800 known or sighted species in the United States, pictured below are a handful of these.
