Insects
Wildlife photos of insects (more than 490 species from 85 families and 15 orders) taken in Europe, North America and South America. The sequence of the orders presented reflects relationships, according to current knowledge, starting with the most primitive forms. For practical reasons, the large number of butterfly and moth (Lepidoptera) species has been divided into four groups.
