Catalogue butterflies of National Park Tatama - Colombia

[wollastoni]

Kim Garwood, David Geale and Juan Guillerma Jaramillo has published online a fantastic catalogue of the butterflies of Tatama National Park in Colombia

Over 240 pages, 720 species, most of them pictured !!!

It is a major task and a huge pdf to download here (82 Mo, so the download can be long)

Highly recommended for people planning a trip in Colombia or trying to identify a Colombian specimen.

Thank you to the authors for their hard work and for putting it online.

Surprisingly the authors only recorded 7 species of Papilionidae amongst all the other species. Perhaps this is because the altitude is already 1,300m at the lowest point in the park, so all the lowland species are absent.

 this is probably because they only collect with a camera.  Still an impressive effort
