Glossary of Terms

32 pages

Glossary of entomological terms: imago, metamorphosis, diapause, aposematism, and 25+ concepts from the world of butterflies with examples and explanations.

The glossary explains entomological terms used in atlas articles: from basic ones (imago, pupa, metamorphosis) to specialized (aposematism, diapause, holometabolism). Each entry is a brief, precise definition with examples from the world of butterflies, without academic overload.

How the glossary is organized

Terms are grouped on separate pages rather than in one list — this makes them easier to find via search and to link from other articles. If you encounter an unfamiliar word in a text, use site search or find the term you need in the list below.
