Here, we present the largest, global dataset of Lepidopteran traits, focusing initially on butterflies (ca. 12,500 species records). These traits are derived from field guides, taxonomic treatments, and other literature resources. We present traits on wing size, phenology,voltinism, diapause/overwintering stage, hostplant associations, and habitat affinities (canopy, edge, moisture, and disturbance). This dataset will facilitate comparative research on butterfly ecology and evolution and our goal is to inspire future research collaboration and the continued development of this dataset.
在这里，我们呈现了最大的鳞翅目特征全球数据集，最初集中于蝴蝶（约 12500 个物种记录）。这些特征源自野外指南、分类处理和其他文献资源。我们提供了翅膀大小、物候、多型性、滞育/越冬阶段、寄主植物关系以及生境偏好（树冠、边缘、湿度和干扰）的特征。这个数据集将促进蝴蝶生态学和进化的比较研究，我们的目标是激发未来的研究合作和这个数据集的持续发展。
