Butterfly Encyclopedia
Butterfly encyclopedia: biology, ecology, conservation, and culture. Articles for observers and beginner entomologists.
The butterfly encyclopedia is the reference section of the atlas. It brings together basic knowledge about what butterflies are, how many species exist, how their life cycle works, and how they differ from moths. The articles are written for observers and beginner entomologists: without unnecessary terminology, with examples from global fauna.
