I am the coordinator of the Ontario Butterfly Atlas website. This is part of my role with the Toronto Entomologists' Association (TEA), of which I am vice-president. I also work with others on the TEA's Ontario Moth Atlas. My principal interest is moths but any lep is good enough for me.

I live in Kitchener, Ontario. Check out my iNat project "Moths of Waterloo Region" (https://inaturalist.ca/projects/moths-of-waterloo-region-ontario). Also see this list of similar projects across Ontario: https://inaturalist.ca/projects/ontario-moth-projects

With David Beadle and others in the TEA, I have created an online Ontario Moth Checklist (https://www.ontarioinsects.org/mothchecklist). There is a line for every species, with the links for that species to iNat, BugGuide, MPG and more. It also shows which species are not included in iNat's computer vision and therefore will not be offered as suggestions.
