We are excited to announce a new feature on the NebraskaLepiodoptera.com website that allows you to access lists of butterflies found in each of Nebraska’s 93 counties. This feature will allow you to see what butterflies have been found in a county where you live or plan to visit. This feature (County Butterfly Lists) can be found on the “Experience Nebraska Butterflies” drop down menu. Clicking this link takes you to a map and a listing of all 93 counties. Selecting the county of your choice will pull up a page listing Nebraska butterfly species (scientific and common names) a column indicating if the species has been found in that county, and another column indicating the source of that record. A source typed in boldface in this column indicates that there is locality data available for that record. There are also literature records dating back to 1880 (see Cherry County). When literature is cited the author and publication date are listed. We stand on their shoulders!
We hope users will find this feature useful. If you have any comments or new records to submit let us know at nebraskabutterflies@gmail.com.
