Abstract

A study was conducted on the occurrence of various species of butterfly and their abundance in the park during 2004-06. A total number of 50 species of butterflies belonging to seven families were recorded during the study period. Of which four species were abundant 12 were common seven were occasional and 27 were rare. Thirty one species of butterflies in winter 24 species in summer and 40 species in monsoon were recorded. Seventeen species of butterflies were found throughout the year. Of the seven recorded species of Papilionidae two species were rare in the park. Eleven species were recorded under Pieridae of them one species was abundant two species less common and remaining were rare in the area. Interestingly only one species recorded from the family Acraeidae which was common in the park. Only two species were recorded under the family Hesperiidae of which one was less common and other was rare. Four butterfly species were recorded from the family Danaidae of which two species were common one was abundant and one was less common. The family Nymphalidae was the largest family represented 17 butterfly species. Out of them two species were abundant four common and others were rare in the area. Eight species of lycaenid butterflies were recorded. Among them two were common one less common and five were rare. The diversity and ecology of various species of butterflies are discussed.
