Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2023, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study was to record and document the butterfly diversity in Deendayal Upadhyay Kisan Park, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India from December 2021 to May 2022, utilizing the line transect method. Throughout the study period, a total of 30 butterfly species from four families were identified and documented. The Nymphalidae family exhibited the highest representation, constituting 50% of the total species. Both Pieridae and Lycaenidae families contributed equally, each comprising 20% of the recorded species. The Papilionidae family had the lowest species composition, accounting for 10% of the documented butterflies. Approximately 47% of the butterflies were found to be commonly observed, while the remaining 33% were rarely sighted within the study area. These findings establish a foundational dataset and provide insights into the current status of butterfly species, serving as a platform for further research and the development of conservation strategies.
