Sheridan and I visited west Mexico in September 2005; while birds were our priority, we looked at every butterfly we could - and I photographed most of them!
August 10 2006: I've now added all the butterfly photos from this trip, and arranged them in taxonomic sequence (names and sequence follows that at www.mariposasmexicanas.com) - while I had help identifying many of these, there are quite a few new ones that I've probably gotten wrong - I'd appreciate any corrections.
