Fluturat e Shqipërisë – Butterflies of Albania
This website, created by Cuvelier S. & Paparisto A. and hosted by the Universiteti i Tiranës, serves as an interactive atlas of the butterflies of Albania. It organises basic information about butterflies into chapters, and provides a complete species checklist. Each species has its own information hub with photos, distribution information, and a life cycle description. The website also includes a partial illustrated species-level identification key.
