* Click on the following link to access lists of Butterflies NOT Seen in various counties. The lists are based on records at the Butterflies and Moths of North America web site. I have completed lists for Tennessee and Alabama and am working on other states. BUTTERFLIES NOT SEEN LISTS ______________________________________________ ATTENTION AviSys USERS! I have prepared two updated butterfly databases for use with AviSys birding software. Both of them available here now! The BAMONA list follows almost exactly the sequence and names used by the USGS at their Butterflies and Moths of North America website: www.butterfliesandmoths.org It includes almost all the butterflies found in the continental United States and Canada (I have found a few – from Canada and Alaska - that are currently not included there, but that may just be a matter of what they consider a species or subspecies), plus many found in northern Mexico. This is the list you would most likely want if you are only concerned with keeping track of your butterfly records for the US and Canada. The North America database follows the taxonomy found in the list at: www.butterfliesofamerica.com This list includes the known butterflies, and subspecies, which can be found from Alaska through Panama, plus Hawai'i and Caribbean islands. The common names included in my NA AviSys list do not always match those from that website. I have made some changes, trying to use names that might be better known, or are found in books that butterfly enthusiasts are likely to use. The following indicates which names have priority in my list: 1) BAMONA - most of us are familiar with these names already. Fortunately, most of the species that are on both lists have the same common names. 2) "Butterflies of Northeastern Mexico" by Garwood & Lehman. Many butterfliers were beginning to use this book and become familiar with the names before the next book was published. 3) "A Swift Guide to the Butterflies of Mexico and Central America" by Glassberg. Many names were re-invented in this book, even though the previous book was already in use and becoming established, at least in south Texas and Tamaulipas, Mexico. 4) The names used in butterfliesofamerica.com _________________________________________________________ Here are the links for the lists and instructions. I ask that, if you try this, you send me an email to let me know that it either worked, or that you had problems.

| Attention east Tennessee Butterfliers! Will you take up the challenge? In an August 19 TN-Butterflies listserve post, Steve Stedman pointed out the species of butterflies which have been reported in the most counties in the state. I have created a list that shows the east Tennessee counties for which there are no records for these species. My challenge to you is to fill in every one of these holes before the end of the 2011 butterfly season! Some of us have already knocked off a few and will continue to do so. Will you help finish the job?!? East TN Not Seen common species list |
