Insects
Wildlife photos of insects (more than 520 species from 92 families and 15 orders) taken in North America, Europe 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.
