The purpose of this publication is to provide guidance and tips on how to enter the wonderful world of butterflies and, further, how to leverage the website iNaturalist to document butterfly observations through citizen science. The intended audience is anyone who is interested in the natural world and wants to learn more about observing butterflies, identifying butterflies, and contributing to science by adding their observations to iNaturalist. While we use examples from Florida throughout, the majority of the information presented here is highly relevant for beginning butterfly-enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
