phma_logo

 
 

In June 2023, we explored the northernmost limit of the Atlantic Forest, in the Ceará State, Northeastern Brazil. We traveled to Ubajara National Park and to APA da Serra de Baturité to collect butterflies and moths for the project and to discover the Lepidoptera diversity of Ceará.

 

We acknowledge the conservation units managers, local guides and the Natural History Museum of Ceará “Prof. Dias da Rocha” of the Ceará State University, for all the support during our visit.
