Abstract

This study aims to determine the diversity of butterflies at the Gunung Raya Wildlife Reserve, South Sumatra. The research was conducted in January-February 2018. The research sites were 4 different habitat types, namely primary forest, secondary forest, riparian area, and bush and plantation. Data collection uses direct observation and capture techniques along the transect line (linear transect counting) along 1000 m in each habitat type using insect nets. The results of the study obtained 55 butterfly species belonging to 5 families (there were 13 species of Papilionidae, 30 species of Nymphalidae, 7 species of Pieridae, 1 species of Riodinidae, and 4 species of Lycaenidae). The highest Shanon diversity index is in primary forest habitat (Manduriang) with H'= 3.5; followed by shrubs and plantations (Pasir Bintang) with H'= 3.45, and riparian areas (Talang Lebong) with H' = 3.23; while the lowest is secondary forest (Mesagih) with H'= 2.94. Distribution of species in all locations  is relative (E> 0.9) and high species richness (R> 4). 2 butterfly species protected by Regulations of the Environtment and Forestry Ministers No 20 of 2018, namely Troides helena and Trogonoptera brookiana has been found in this study.

Abstract

Hostplant availability is a key factor influencing butterfly distribution, particularly in urban environments with limited ecological resources. This study aimed to examine the colonization, oviposition behavior, and pre-adult development of Pachliopta antiphus antiphus following the introduction of its host plant Aristolochia tagala in a residential area in Palembang, Indonesia. A direct observation method was applied to monitor butterfly presence, egg-laying activity, and development from egg to adult stage. All observed individuals  (total of 12 eggs successfully developed into adults. Eggs were laid singly, primarily on young leaves. Larval development consisted of four instars, with increasing body size and feeding rate at each stage. The duration from egg to adult emergence fell within the normal developmental range reported for the genus. This finding highlights the importance of hostplant presence in supporting butterfly persistence and suggests a nested pattern of species occurrence within urban landscapes.
