At the beginning, the website was intended mainly for the author's own needs and contained only species occurring in Poland.
A few years later, the scope was expanded to include species from Central Europe, leading to the platform's rebranding as Butterflies of Central Europe.
In a very short time, species from across all of Europe were added, and the site rebranded as European Butterflies and Moths.
Over the years, our scope has expanded to a global scale, and the platform has rebranded as Lepidoptera Mundi. We have introduced numerous new features and multi-language support. While we are still working toward a complete global species list, every update brings us closer by adding new species from around the world.
