The National Butterfly Center, a project of the North American Butterfly Association, invites visitors to explore native plants and observe butterflies in their natural habitat. Guests walk through gardens and trails, using the NBC Butterfly Checklist to identify species they encounter. The center maintains a Native Plant Nursery where visitors can learn about plants that attract butterflies and other wildlife. The facility offers school field trips and Girl Scout events designed around butterfly education. Visitors can also consult bird and odonate checklists to spot additional species on the grounds. The center hosts educational programs and classes that teach about butterfly biology and conservation. A photo gallery documents the butterflies and birds found throughout the property. The National Butterfly Center is located in Mission, Texas, and welcomes families, school groups, and individual nature enthusiasts interested in learning about local butterfly populations and native plants.
