The National Museum of Natural History – BAS organizes the largest lepidopterological field expedition in Europe

The largest field expedition in the field of lepidopterology, which brought together 57 experts from 17 European countries, took place between June 15 and 19, 2026, near the village of Vlahi, above the Kresna Gorge in the Pirin Mountains. The researchers collected data on more than 700 species of day and night butterflies of which at least 300 species will be sequenced for the first time, and their genomes will be used as references. As part of the “Psyche” project, the expedition aimed to assist in collecting data on some of the species for which genetic data is currently lacking. To date, over 11,000 butterfly species have been identified in Europe but the genomes of only about 10% of them are known. So far, a [...]
