There are several available resources about butterflies on the internet, many refer to local or general aspects of butterflies, and others might have little relevant information for academic/research purposes. However there is a handful of authors and compilers that have made an impresive efforts, and provide great resources of information. It is however, as with most internet based resources, a great challenge to keep information complete and up-to-date, specially when pages are static and rely on single knowledgeable contributors, who actually have a much more things to do, while the contributions of enthusiasts and volunteers are limited by the amount of knowledge they can extract from other sources.
Here we will build our preliminary list of internet based resources:
- Checklists
- Phylogenies
- Distributional records and data bases
- Hostplant associations
- Other associations
- Conservation
- General descriptions
