Data from: Every hue has its fan club: Diverse patterns of color-dependent flower visitation across Lepidoptera

This dataset contains RGB color measurements and family-level plant
identifications for flowers visited by adult Lepidoptera in the
Southwestern Ozarks, USA. Observations were manually curated from
iNaturalist and span diurnal and crepuscular flower visits between 2002
and 2024. The dataset includes: flower color data from Lepidoptera
visitation records, a control sample of commonly photographed flowers
matched for seasonal availability, and a subset of records for evaluating
the randomness of flower choices. Flower colors were measured digitally
using standardized RGB sampling procedures to assess color preferences
across Lepidoptera species.
