Abstract

Butterflies (Lepidoptera) are one of the insect groups that play an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance, particularly as pollinators of various flowering plants and as indicators of environmental conditions. This study aimed to identify and describe butterfly species (order: Lepidoptera) found in the forest area of Namo Village, Kulawi District, Sigi Regency. The research employed a descriptive method with an exploratory (survey) technique. Sampling was conducted at three different observation stations. Field data were collected over three days, with two sampling periods per day, from 07:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 local time (WITA). Samples were collected using insect nets and subsequently identified based on morphological characteristics. The results of the study revealed 27 butterfly species belonging to four major families. These families are Nymphalidae (17 species), Papilionidae (6 species), Pieridae (3 species), and Lycaenidae (1 species). The diversity analysis indicated that the family Nymphalidae had the highest number of species. Environmental factors, such as the abundance of host plants in the genus Lantana and host plants of the genus Mangivera, as well as abiotic conditions including an average temperature of 27°C, humidity of 70.33%, and light intensity of 786 cd, were strongly suspected to support the high variation in butterfly species.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of online game addiction on students’ academic behavior in Biology learning at SMA Negeri 5 Palu. A descriptive qualitative method was employed. The research subjects consisted of four Grade X Merdeka 2 students, selected purposively, and a Biology teacher. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. This study addresses a gap in previous literature by examining students’ subjective experiences regarding the effects of online game addiction on academic behavior in Biology classes at SMA Negeri 5 Palu. The findings indicate that online game addiction affects three aspects of students’ academic behavior: decreased classroom participation, lack of discipline in submitting assignments, and potential disruption of academic achievement. Among these aspects, students’ lack of discipline in completing assignments emerged as the most prominent and evident impact. This was supported by the consistency of interview responses from all informants, the normalization of rule violations, and confirmation from the Biology teacher that, without reminders, assignment submission could be delayed for up to one week. It can be concluded that interventions aimed at improving students’ discipline, time management, and daily limits on online gaming are needed through collaboration among schools, teachers, and parents.
