Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Categories

 * Category:Butterfly stub.
 * Category:Moth stub.

Other important subcategories:
 * Category:Extinct_butterflies.
 * Category:Fictional_butterflies and moths.
 * Category:Regional butterfly lists.

Lepidoptera article subpages
There should be several subpages, eg.:
 * Lepidoptera anatomy
 * Lepidoptera vision
 * Lepidoptera evolution
 * Lepidoptera taxonomy
 * Lepidoptera in culture
 * Lepidoptera pests
 * Lepidoptera flight

Lepidoptera anatomy
List of some items that are not explained yet. These should either be treated in an article of their own, or get a section in Butterfly anatomy, or, if it has a different meaning in other parts of zoology (for example entomology), get a special section there.
 * Antenna (biology)
 * Wing
 * Leg
 * Proboscis
 * Frenulum
 * Compound eye
