Lepidoptera

I have thousands and thousands of picture that I've recording since 2017 (I'm only counting the pictures taken with a professional camera) from all the fieldtrips that I did mainly in Portugal and Ireland.

Recently I decided to do the crazy task of searching folder by folder for all the Lepidoptera species I found so far. Lepidopera is an Order of Insects that includes Butterflies and Moths. All the members of this order have:

  • 4 wings
  • 6 legs
  • 2 antennae 
  • body divided in 3 sections
More interesting info about Lepidopterahere

The biggest amount of species I recorded in Ireland (19 species), followed by Portugal (8 species), Austria (2 species) and Slovakia (1 species). Hopefully this year I will be able to record some new species to my photography collection.

Let's start this adventure!
