65. Free .pdf Photographic Guide Butterflies of Central Europe and Brittain

We hebben de veldgids voor dagvlinders van Peter Gergely nu gratis als pdf beschikbaar gemaakt. In mijn ogen is dit de beste vlindergids voor het grootste deel van Europa. Alleen het zuidwesten en hoge noorden staan er niet in. Maar daarvoor staan alle moeilijke soorten vlak bij elkaar en zijn de onderscheidende kenmerken met pijltjes aangegeven, zowel voor de boven- als onderkant en vrouwtjes en mannetjes.

The butterfly monitoring is an important and necessary activity to determine the status of butterfly populations and their distribution. Every person can help in collecting butterfly data with different platforms and methodologies. Making the data available is a decisive action for the improvement of conservation and research. Here we describe some useful and easy platforms where you can be part of one citizen science community and share your observations for the improvement of the conservation of butterflies and biodiversity in general. o ButterflyCount App (eBMS) for Apple and Android devices - www.butterfly-monitoring.net/ebms-app o iNaturalis www.inaturalist.org o Observation www.observation.org

Butterflies are one of the most conspicuous insect groups, with wonderful colour and shapes. However, sometimes their identification is not easy and we need precise keys to identify butterflies.

First, it is important to differentiate butterflies (Rhopalocera) from moths (Heterocera) and then determine the proper family an individual belongs.

In Europe, we have 6 different families:

Hesperiidae - Skippers
Papilionidae - Apollos, Festoons and Swallowtails
Pieridae - Whites and Yellows
Riodinidae - Metalmarks
Lycaenidae - Blues, Copper and Hairstreaks
Nymphalidae - Fritillaries, Admirals, Emperors, Gliders, Browns and Heaths

Identification with Field Guides

There are many materials and resources to help in butterfly identification like websites, books and field guides. This last one can be a good support in the field providing the essential characteristics to find the correct butterfly species.

In the ABLE project, we produced several Field Guides per region reducing the number of species and doing easily the identification of butterflies in a concrete area. You can download the pdf and print directly the Field Guide.

Field Guides of Italy: Padana Plain region, Mediterranean, Apennines, Mediterranean Islands
Field Guides of Spain: Andalusia

A Photographic Guide - Butterflies of Central Europe & Britain

This Field Guide contains information to identify 269 butterfly species occurring in Britain, Western and Central Europe. With detailed pictures of identification characteristics and precise pointing marks, this Guide will help you to identify difficult and similar species.
