Acknowledgements
This website was made possible with the support of Prof. Dr. Artan Hoxha, the Rector of the Universiteti i Tiranës.
We thank him for his support to launch this website as part of the contribution from the Tirana University on the biodiversity and nature of Albania.
We are indebted to Richard Lewington (www.richardlewington.co.uk) who gave his permission to use and adapt his illustrations from the Field Guide of the Butterflies of Britain and Europe, for all the species that are more difficult to identify.
We also thank Juxhin Caushi for his suggestions, input and implementation of this new website.
Grateful thanks to all persons who contributed to the improvement of our knowledge on the Albanian butterflies.
This included dealing with experiences, suggesting specific localities to research and not at least, growing friendships.
