The Butterfly Conservation Section of the Hungarian Ornithological Society has initiated a national butterfly survey for 2025 for the clouded apollo (Parnassius mnemosyne), Jersey tiger moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria) and purple emperor (Apatura iris) species. We expect the recording of observations on the izeltlabuak.hu platform.
The Butterfly Conservation Section of the Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Society announced a data collection competition in April 2023 for the 2023 Butterfly of the Year, the swallowtail butterfly. The goal of the game was to raise awareness about the protection of the swallowtail butterfly and, in general, about nature conservation challenges affecting butterflies and the reasons for their decline. The swallowtail butterfly, the Butterfly of the Year, was particularly vulnerable due to the cold periods that began in recent years and intensive pesticide use, making the competition of great importance for species protection.
