Paper Butterflies web site provides fairly accurate black and white illustrations of about 100 different butterfly and moth types for young children to print and color.
Parents and teachers may use these images as butterfly craft activities for preschool children for creating lesson plans and other educational purposes.
The images in Paper Butterflies web site are based upon photographs of butterflies and moths currently on display in museums and in historical reference material.
These images are artist renditions, however, and are definitely not intended to be scientifically accurate in color or drawn to scale representations.
Paper Butterflies design patterns may also be used for non-commercial, non-profit crochet, embroidery, latch-hook rugs, wood work and other educational or personal art projects.
There are many external links throughout Paper Butterflies pages that open new windows to online sources and photos. For quality indepth studies of the Lepidoptera subject matter, please refer to the references page for more expert resources.
