New project ExplorCollect

[ExplorCollect]

The ExplorCollect project is an exploratory collection of photos on biodiversity specially Lepidoptera (butterflies) from France and the world.

The purpose of this collection is twofold:

  • a scientific objective to contribute to the knowledge of these species by the acquisition of localized inventory data of species in time and space,
  • a goal of awareness raising to discover these species, show the beauty of these small species and their fragility through photographs.

We invite you to discover a first butterfly in the photo gallery of butterflies in France : Marsh Fritillary. Marsh Fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia) is a species of butterfly in very strong decline in much of Europe.
