Based on personal observations, the purpose of this list is to provide a broad analysis of several years of observations to serve as a general outline of the species that may be encountered in Lithuania, with notes detailing flight dates, approximate locations and abundance.

Whilst not a comprehensive list of all species ever recorded in Lithuania, observations do cover 109 of the 126 species currently on the Lithuanian list. For completeness, an appendix of the remaining 17 species (mostly rare vagrants or historically-occurring species) will be added.
