# Sample Butterfly Dataset

This dataset is a subset of images used for the [Imageomics Data Training Workshop](https://github.com/Imageomics/data-workshop-AH-2024) with some modifications to the metadata; it is not intended for use as more than a toy instructional dataset.

The images and accompanying metadata are originally sourced from
- Hoyal Cuthill, Jennifer F. et al. (2019), Data from: Deep learning on butterfly phenotypes tests evolution’s oldest mathematical model [Dataset]. Dryad. https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.2hp1978.
- Hoyal Cuthill, J.F., Guttenberg, N., Ledger, S., Crowther, R. & Huertas, B. (2019), Deep learning on butterfly phenotypes tests evolution’s oldest mathematical model, _Science Advances_, **5**(8),eaaw4967. [DOI:10.1126/sciadv.aaw4967](https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaw4967).

The metadata provided here has been modified from the original source and image filenames have been changed.
