“…Foraging behaviour of selected butterfly was observed on different flowers like Lantana camara, Mikania micrantha, Melochiacorchorifolia etc. The colour and fragnance of flowere employ strong signal for foraging of butterflies (Begum, Habiba &Howlader, 2014 andGoulson &Cory 1993). The butterfly diversity in the study site indicated a varied assemblage of floral species.…”

Butterflies are an extremely important group of colorful insects belonging to Phylum – Arthropoda, under Class- Insecta and order- Lepidoptera. They are highly sensitive to environmental change and sometimes considered bio-indicators of climate and are potential pollinators. This work was aimed at studying the diversity and common behavioral aspects of butterflies. The study was conducted in Habra and around Sree Chaitanya College from February to September 2022. A total of 35 different species under 25 genera belonging to five families were reported. The maximum number of species belonged to the family Nymphalidae. The ethological aspects of some butterflies were studied in detail. Six butterfly species belonging to three families were studied. The butterfly species studied were the tawny coster, plain tiger, common jezebel, common palm fly, common silverline. A specific behavioural pattern like hovering, basking, resting, flight and nectarine was documented. Observation revealed that plain tiger, tawny coster, common silverline spent most of the time resting. The preference of the butterfly species for nectar-collecting plants was also studied. It was observed that, despite having a number of flowering and non-flowering plants in the area, each butterfly species has a specific preference for their nectar plants.

“…Pengamatan dilakukan dengan metode scan sampling (Altman 1973), yaitu dengan mengikuti pergerakan P. aristolochiae dan mencatat perilaku apa yang sedang dilakukanya dalam waktu tertentu. Pengamatan perilaku P. aristolochiae terbagi menjadi 4 jenis perilaku, yaitu perilaku hinggap/ resting (Bakowski et al 2010), perilaku terbang/ flight-patrolling (Begum et al 2014), perilaku menghisap nectar/nectaring (Begum et al 2014), dan perilaku interaksi meliputi interaksi intraspesifik adalah interaksi antara betina-betina/jantan-betina (Lebeau et al 2015) dan interaksi interspesifik adalah interaksi dengan spesies lain. Pengamatan dilakukan selama empat hari.…”

Pachliopta aristolochiae plays important role in the ecosystems. Their role as pollinators can be observed from their daily behaviors. This study aimed to observe the behaviors of butterfly P. aristolochiae as well as their food preferences on daily basis. This research was conducted at the Museum of insect and butterfly of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. Observations were done in two female individuals based on scan sampling method. Behavior was observed according to perching, flying, nectaring and interaction activities. Our results indicate that P. aristolochiae mostly showed flying ( 35.9%) and nectaring (30.6%) activities. On the other hand, interaction (9.3%) was among the least behaviors observed during the study. Nectaring activity was mostly shown within 08.00 - 09.40 am, while perching was observed throughout the day within 11.00 - 16.00. During observation, P. aristolochiae was recorded in visiting various plants, including Ixora sp., Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Clerodendrum japonicum, Ochna serrulata, Jatropha curcas and J. integrifolia.

Zizina otis (Fabricius, 1787) is a Lycaenidae widespread in Asia. The study site Anand district of Gujarat is rich in floral diversity and harbours flowering and nonflowering plants which appear throughout the year. At several locations within the Anand district, Z. otis was observed in huge numbers and those high-density areas were monitored to record the nectar plants utilized by them. During this study we were able to record 12 species of plants utilized by Z. otis as food/nectar plants.
