- Difference between a butterfly and a moth.

[edit] Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
[edit] Categories
- Category:Butterfly stub.
- Category:Moth stub.
Other important subcategories:
- Category:Extinct_butterflies.
- Category:Fictional_butterflies and moths.
- Category:Regional butterfly lists.
[edit] Requested Articles
[edit] Lepidoptera article subpages
There should be several subpages, eg.:
- Lepidoptera anatomy
- Lepidoptera vision
- Lepidoptera evolution
- Lepidoptera taxonomy
- Lepidoptera in culture
- Lepidoptera pests
- Lepidoptera flight
[edit] Lepidoptera anatomy
List of some items that are not explained yet. These should either be treated in an article of their own, or get a section in Butterfly anatomy, or, if it has a different meaning in other parts of zoology (for example entomology), get a special section there.
