I am going to Rhodes Greece at the end of the month on holiday and I am struggling to find any information on butterflies of Rhodes other than "valley of the butterflies " (tiger moths) any help would be appreciated

When you say 'anything' what are you looking for?

I very much doubt you'll find anything dedicated just to Rhodes.

Yes, they're Jersey Tigers but I've heard that the 'spectacle' is not what it used to be.
