This is a compilation of all the butterfly pictures I have taken, collected into one page and categorised according to species. If you find any mistakes or can identify any of the pictures found in the 'Unidentified Butterflies' or 'Unidentified Moths' section then please let me know and I will make any appropriate updates.

2019 = I last saw this butterfly or moth in 2019 (may or may not have photographed it). Or I last saw it in 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015. No entry means earlier than 2015.
