How does eButterfly decide what species to list in their checklists?

Created by Jason Loomis, Modified on Thu, 7 May, 2020 at 7:21 PM by e-butterfly agent

We base our checklists off of our current understanding of North America taxonomy, range maps, and opinions of regional experts. Our taxonomy is taken primarily from Pelham 2013 (http://butterfliesofamerica.com/US-Can-Cat.htm).  And feel free to spend some time looking at the photos in Butterflies of America! It's a fabulous resource.
