Butterflies too have been relatively easy to document, as have the rather more limited numbers of species of mammals and amphibians. I bought a book on pan-species listing fairly recently, but I don't really have the time to even attempt to document EVERYTHING (and plants/fungi/trees/lichens/mosses etc don't really interest me at all). Instead, I've decided to compromise a bit by trying to photograph and identify (hopefully correctly!) as many of the insects, spiders etc as I can find.
