After over four decades of field research, Neil Dankert, an Elm Creek native, has made it his mission to share the abundance of the Nebraska prairie with the world. Neil began with observation guides and booklets. Then, in 2019, he applied for the Watchable Wildlife Grant to build an online Lepidoptera guide at www.nebraskalepidoptera.com followed by the publication of Common Butterflies of the Central Platte River Valley to bridge the gap between trained lepidopterists and amateur naturalists.
