Starting Point

This blog intends to be a pictorial guide to the Butterflies and Moths (Lepidoptera) found in the Neotropical region and surrounding areas, which are often difficult to identify but have long been known for the huge diversity of forms and striking colours exhibited by many.
Here, I will put mostly set specimens in order to show the useful characters in their determination.
Enjoy and feedback whenever you want.
