Image of a Juvenal's Duskywing ( Erynnis juvenalis ) taken by iNaturalist user jhoekstra, description: These were gathered in conference on a dungpile (dog, I think) and erupted in a big flurry of brown when I walked by. I think they are Wild Indigo Duskywings, an example of a species that has benefitted from the introduction of Crown Vetch, which it has adopted as a new host. The species' range has been expanding since vetch was introduced., licence: CC-BY

Image of a Common Banded Peacock Swallowtail ( Papilio crino ) taken by iNaturalist user vipinbaliga, description: This species is solitary and a fast flyer. It flies high above and forages on the trees (e.g., Creeper blooms on Bamboo). However, occasionally it is attracted to bright flowers of plants on the ground as well (e.g., dwarf red Ixora). It flutters in a hurry while sipping nectar. It is distinguished due to its colour which is shiny fluorescent blue or green depending on the angle of observation. The magnificent colours are due to scales in interior of its wings. Also there are spots in the bottom of its hind wings similar to eye spots. The exterior of wings is brownish-black with patterns similar to eye-spots. Perhaps the only protection for this species is self-mimicry through the eye-spots as regards to its morphology, considering its bright peacock colours and its fast flight. Distribution : Lower Bengal; Forested parts of Central and Southern India (including Kerala); Sri Lanka., licence: CC-BY-NC

YAML Metadata Warning: empty or missing yaml metadata in repo card (https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/datasets-cards)

This dataset contains images from iNaturalist of butterflies (superfamily Papilionoidea) with at least one fave. Check the descriptions - some images have a licence like CC-BY-NC and can't be used for commercial purposes.

The list of observations was exported from iNaturalist after a query similar to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&popular&taxon_id=47224

The images were downloaded with img2dataset and uploaded to the huggingface hub by @johnowhitaker using this colab notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/14qwFV_G4dh6evizzqHP08qDUAHtzfuiW?usp=sharing

The goal is to have a dataset of butterflies in different poses and settings, to use for GAN training and to compare with datasets built with museum collections of pinned specimens (which tend to be much cleaner and have more consistency of pose etc)

I'm not familiar with the nuances of creative commons licencing but you may wish to filter out images which are no-derivatices (CC-...-ND) when training a GAN or creating new images.
