Descriptions, Illustrations, Interactive Identification, and Information Retrieval from DELTA Databases

Butterflies and moths (demonstration interactive key)

This key is designed for preliminary exploration of interactive identification, and for use in training courses and workshops. It’s important to practise ‘real’ identification, rather than pretending to identify familiar organisms (when the answer is known beforehand).

The characters don’t require special knowledge, and the illustrations can be used as ‘specimens’ to be identified. Instructions on using the key are included.
