I started taking photographs of butterflies in July of 2005. For more complete sightings lists, click here. Identification is done only from photographs, I don’t catch or otherwise disturb the butterflies, so it’s entirely possible that some of these are mis-identified. All images on this site are copyright Shea Sundstøl and may not be reproduced in any form without my express written permission. More information on butterflies in Norway can be found at Norlep, including species counts by kommune. Information on butterflies of Europe and North Africa can be found at Leps.it.
