Outdoor Indiana magazine’s May/June issue features a cover article on the 96 species of butterflies that populate the Hoosier state.

Just about everyone loves butterflies, but have you ever thought about why? The article explains the reasons and how to maximize your enjoyment of these colorful creatures.

The issue also includes feature articles on two of spring’s other favorite activities. One covers the history and evolution of picnicking, and the other provides tips about how to make the most of taking your child fishing.
