Checklist of the Butterflies and moths in the Furnas River Reserve

By Nathan Smith & Maria Alice Neves

Below is an illustrated checklist of the butterflies and moths in the reserve. Additional taxa will be added as new observations are made. Although the list is still short, it can be used to identify some of the common butterflies in Santa Catarina State. If you see something that is misidentified, please leave a comment at the bottom of the page. Thank you!

Search by name or primary color(s)

For example, search for “orange” to see all taxa that are orange or partially orange. Narrow the search by combining colors (e.g., “blue yellow” with no comma between the colors). The following colors are accepted: black, blue (includes violet), brown, gray, green, orange, red (includes pink), white, yellow and clear.
