The Butterflies of Romania - Romanian Butterflies

by Mircea V.

Always fascinanting and wonderful, the butterflies - fragile and colourful creatures, image of elegance and lightness - are a continuous attraction for all lovers of nature.

Here are the species of butterflies that have been signalized on the Romanian territory

,,Many know that Romania is one of Europe’s top birdwatching destinations, but this beautiful country, at the edge of the continent, is less well known for its other wildlife treasures, in particular its butterflies. Because many areas are still farmed traditionally, just like a hundred years ago using wildlife friendly techniques, unchanged for generations, the butterflies still flourish. Dancing clouds of these colorful sprites are still a common sight over flower-filled alpine meadows, sunny woodland glades and the dry steps of the east. At least 180 species of butterflies occur here, and Romania is sure to become a favorite with the lepidopterists, as it has already become with ornithologists.''
