eButterfly
A real-time, online checklist and photo storage program, eButterfly is providing a new way for the butterfly community to report, organize and access information about butterflies worldwide. eButterfly provides rich data sources for basic information on butterfly abundance, distribution, and phenology at a variety of spatial and temporal scales around the globe.
We know that every butterfly watcher experiences amazing observations all the time. Our goal is to gather this incredible individual experience in the form of butterfly checklists, archive it, and freely share it to power new data-driven approaches to science, conservation and education. At the same time, we provide and develop tools that make butterfly watching more rewarding. From being able to manage lists and photos, to seeing real-time maps of butterfly distribution, or the ability to discuss your sightings with others; we strive to provide the most current and useful information to the community.
