Butterfly Species Diversity, Occurrence and Abundance In Gandhi Park of Shivamogga, Karnataka, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
The survey was conducted to prepare a preliminary checklist of butterflies of Gandhi Park at Shivamogga, Karnataka. Shivamogga City Corporation is a heart land of Karnataka state. Climate of Shivamogga is tropically wet and dry. Majority of the rainfall occurs between June and early October. Butterflies were sampled from July to November 2016. This short term study recorded 36 species of butterflies in 27 genera from five families. Nymphalidae dominated the list with 16 species. Papilionoidea and Pieridae with 8 species each. Lycaenidae with three species and Hesperidae with only one species. It was found that two species of butterflies were very common, nine species are common, thirteen species are not rare and twelve species of butterflies were rare in occurrence in Gandhi park of Shivamogga. This study will enlighten the information regarding the diversity of butterflies and forms a baseline data for future butterfly studies.
