Welcome to Butterflies I've Seen
The web site that allows you to keep track of all of your butterfly sightings. Once you enter your sightings you can retrieve them by location, date, or species. The site also offers you the ability to print out a list of all the butterfly species you have ever seen - a Life List; alternatively, you can print a list of butterfly species you have seen at a particular location.
You're Making a Difference
The sightings you enter provide important information that the North American Butterfly Association will analyze to help answer scientists' questions about butterfly distributions, abundance, and conservation. Your data can also provide critical insights about how environmental factors such as pollution can affect delicate natural ecosystems, and perhaps assist in the passing of new legislation and regulations that will ensure the safety and existence of butterflies for a long time to come. We hope that you enjoy the web site, and the fact that your entries are aiding in the study and conservation of butterfly populations in North America.
