Butterflies of America - The Butterflies of America site is a centralized resource for the study and enjoyment of American butterflies. The authors and advisors represent a broad range of professional and amateur Lepidopterists, general naturalists, authors, photographers, gardeners, artists, musicians and doctors, who are all fascinated with butterflies. The aim is to develop a comprehensive online resource devoted to American butterflies that will include information on the geographic distribution, geographic variation, taxonomy, systematics, identification, ecology (including larval foodplants and immature biology) and bibliography for all butterfly taxa in the region, including all species, subspecies and undescribed geographic segregates. At this time the Interactive Listing of American Butterflies includes only those taxa occurring from Alaska and arctic Canada through Panama, Hawaii, and on the Caribbean Islands (excluding Trinidad, Tobago, and islands off the Venezuelan coast.)
Mariposas Mexicanas - This is a comprehensive website dedicated to the study of Mexican butterflies. There is a vast collection of photos of the entire life cycle of Mexican butterflies, food plants, pinned specimens, downloadable scientific papers and lists.
