Butterflies of NW Europe

This e-guide on the butterflies of North-West Europe is part of a series of mobile systems for identifying species in nature. These apps were developed as part of the EC KeyToNature project aiming to provide easy access to flora and fauna information.

This app contains:

- Information on 145 species of butterflies (habitat, distribution, flight period, etc.)
- Where appropriate, information and drawings of subspecies
- Distribution maps for all species
- An interactive key for identifying species
- An alphabetical list of species with a search function
- Hyperlinks to similar species
- All names in English, Dutch, French and German

This application is an adapted mobile version of the CD-ROM 'Butterflies of Europe', published by ETI BioInformatics in cooperation with the Dutch Butterfly Conservation (ISBN 90-75000-41-3). The identification key is based on 'Butterflies of Europe' by T. Lafranchis (2004).
