Hi !
My name is Romain, I'm a college student and for my lab assistant job I have to put order in a butterfly collection(about 200 individuals). I feel really lucky to be able to manipulate them,there are beautifull and some are 80 years old !! So you might have guess, I know nothing about butterflies...and they lost the index of the collection !! That's why I came here, is there some place where I can find caracteres that help to classify butterflies ?I think there is some kind of order, I need to find how they build the collection. Basically, I would like to find for which family or order each box are related to, and then I could start identify each individuals. I know most of butterfly classification are based on the shape of the wings ? I'm looking for stereotype character for each family...
I have also two guys that weren't in any box, can you help me to find out what are they ?
