Visit the Field Museum's online butterfly exhibit. This site explains the biology of these insects as well as some interesting history about the museum's Lepidoptera collections. Throughout this site you will also find various drawings of Lepidoptera, some as old as 1842!

Field Museum's library
Libraries are a crucial component of scientific research. Ben Williams, a BugCamp lecturer, is currently involved in a large project to catalogue images from the rare book collection at the museum. Pictured below is one such image.
