Butterflies of Death Valley National Park
Ek DA. 2007. Butterflies of Death Valley National Park. National Park Service. Death Valley, CA
Death Valley National park contains diverse resources spread out on over 3.3 million acres of land within the Mojave Desert and Great Basin Desert region of Southeast California and Southwest Nevada. There have been several previous butterfly inventories and investigations within Death Valley National Park, but there has not yet been a complete and comprehensive systematic butterfly inventory. Such a comprehensive inventory is needed to better assess the diversity of butterflies within the park, as well as their habitats, range, and ecological relationships. Until such a comprehensive understanding of the park's butterfly species is produced, this compilation of species known and recorded within the park may assist the butterfly enthusiast and the raise awareness of one of the many unique aspects comprising Death Valley National Park.
