| SWAZILAND'S BIODIVERSITY: Swaziland's Invertebrates |
|
Information on Swaziland's invertebrates is in general very poorly documented.
A provisional checklist for Swaziland's butterflies has been compiled with assistance from the virtual museum (SABCA), Chuck Saunders, Mark Williams, Steve Woodall, Christopher Willis and others. Swaziland Butterfly Checklist.
Information on moths is currently limited to checklists for Mlawula and Malolotja.
