The Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Belgium, comprising all Lepidoptera of Belgium, provides information on the systematics and the distribution per province arranged in time-periods. The aim of the catalogue is also to depict all species in nature and as museum specimens, along with their pre-imaginal stages and larval host-plants. This dataset also contains images and vernacular names. More data (host plant informations, invasive status, ...) can be found on the project website: https://projects.biodiversity.be/lepidoptera
