This is my attempt at keeping a life list of Lepidoptera I have identified. Leps include moths, butterflies, and their caterpillars. At this point it’s a photo life list, since I have little skill at identifying leps in the field, and rely on photos for confirmation. Maybe that will change, but for now — this is a start. If you spot a mis-ID, please contact me or leave a comment on this page.
