List of Lepidoptera of Hawaii facts for kids

Location of Hawaii

Hawaii is home to many amazing insects, including about 1,150 different kinds of Lepidoptera. This group includes all the beautiful butterflies and moths! Most of these, around 948 species, are endemic, meaning they are found only in Hawaii and nowhere else in the world. The other 199 species are nonindigenous, which means they came from other places.

This page lists many of these fascinating butterflies and moths. Sometimes, you'll find a link to a specific species. Other times, you'll see a link to a whole group (called a genus). This happens when all the species in that group are unique to Hawaii. You can then find the individual species on that genus page.
