It is now just a year since I started this website, the anniversary was at the end of last week, and I did not imagine at the start how far it would have progressed in that time. I have spent the last week checking and adding to the species texts and infilling the gaps where necessary. I have progressed as far as the Nymphalids and so should complete this in the next couple of weeks for all the species for which I have photos, and will then add pages for the 21 species for which I do not.
Our next trip to Cuba is in the summer and we will be targetting quite a few of those species for which no photos are available. Some may never have been photographed before, and that's just the adults - the immature stages are even less well known. In fact it's surprising how many of even the widespread species for which there is no information, even on what the foodplants are, so it will be nice as the range of photographs of the adults increases to spend more time observing behaviour and studying the other life stages.
Thank you to everyone for their contributions over the last year.
