In the country where I live, in Serbia, 201 species of butterflies have been officially discovered and registered. I personally believe, and I'm not alone in this belief that there are a large number of butterflies that have not yet been discovered, identified and registered.
The moth database has never been completed, but it is estimated that over 3000 species live there.
My personal goal is to one day complete a collection of butterflies living in the territory of Serbia. When I say collection this doesn't mean that I literally hunt butterflies, but to make as many photographs of all kinds as possible.
Yes, I know that this is a big and demanding endeavor that requires a lot of travel along the country. Many species lives in specific areas like certain mountains and only there can be found in those places.
I think about this idea very often, and I know that its implementation will not be easy, because it requires a lot of time, a lot of money for all these necessary trips, as well as investing in suitable equipment.
I started realizing my idea a long time ago, I started from where I live, and then I go around near by area. In order to successfully reach my goal, it takes a lot of research and constant learning about all kinds of butterflies, such as in what areas some species live, what habits and seasons are best for them to see.
I do this task daily from early spring to late fall. Here are some photos I made today, I hope you like the photos that are part of my collection that is getting bigger and bigger every day.
