All objects from our collection are determined by scientist and have exact scientific name, date and place of taking picture, as well as size of the original image.
You are able to find necessary pictures using four different approach:
1) with a help of Geographic Index (all objects are separated by countries and nature geographical zones), 2) with a help of Systematic Index (all objects are separated by their systematic position),
3) with a help of Alphabetical Index (all objects are separated by their scientific Latin names according to the alphabet), and
4) with a help of Search Form (you can search scientific (Latin) names of species, genus, family, or order).
