A Simplified Key to the Butterflies of Aquitaine
A simplified key to the Butterflies of Aquitaine Butterflies are distinguished from most moths by their club-ended thread-like antennae, their wings closed together above the body at rest and their absence of a system of coupling between the anterior and posterior wings. Butterflies are active by day, whereas moths generally fly at night. Note that the separation of these two sub-orders has no real scientific basis but remains an accepted convention. Table 1: Butterflies in Aquitaine Large : 7-9 cm Approximately 159 species of butterflies found in Aquitaine. Knowledge of their geographical distribution is still fragmentary and there are still potentially other species present. The production of this key aims to support recording for the first Aquitaine atlas of butterflies – a joint project by CEN Aquitaine and LPO Aquitaine which will provide an important monitoring baseline. This key provides a simple way to identify the different species of butterflies in Aquitaine. It has been constructed in such a way as to display all closely related species on each page. It must be remembered that a key such as this cannot provide all of the criteria for confirming the identification of every species. It is intended as a simplified key which for many species should be sufficient though it will sometimes have to be supplemented by reference to other more specialized works as indicated. Distributional information by Department is provided to help you to determine your identifications. Good luck!

Our native wildlife continues to be threatened as habitats are damaged or destroyed. Butterflies have probably never been as endangered as they are today following decades of loss of key semi-natural habitats such as flower-rich grasslands. This report is extremely valuable and timely as it concerns an increasingly important habitat for butterflies and other insects. Road verges can help conserve butterflies and other wildlife as they are an opportunity to provide suitable breeding habitats for many species, and provide crucial links between the patches of habitat that remain. Butterflies are highly sensitive indicators of the environment and we know that conservation measures for this group will help many other less well-known components of our biodiversity. Road verges already provide valuable habitats for a wide range of species but this report shows how they can be made even better and contribute an ever more important role in the future.
