This is an updated checklist of birds in South Korea:

The site has much information, and you can do a web image search using the scientific name for best results.





I could not find a similar resource for butterflies. The best reference I could find is a book called ';Atlas of butterflies (Lepidoptera)'; written by Park K.T. %26amp; Kim S.S. in 1997, froma book series ';Insects of Korea';, edited by K.T. Park for the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology and Center for Insect Systematics, Chuncheon.


A recent publication cited 176 species of butterflies, but did not list them all. Some of the species are:


Anosia chrysippus


Aporia crataegi


A. hippia


Bibasis striata


Callophrys ferrea


C. frivaldszkyi


Celastrina argiolus
