Abstract

A detailed study on the butterfly species biodiversity was carried out at Dabwali, district Sirsa, Haryana state of India during 2017 to 2022. A total of 28 butterfly species belonging to 5 families of order Lepidoptera were recorded during the study period. Out of the 28 species, 10 species belonged to Lycaenidae family followed Pieridae by 09 species, Hesperiidae 04 species and Papilionidae 03 species. Nymphalidae Family was found to be represented by only 02 species. From the conservation point of view, the study area is not rich in flora and fauna due to excess industrialization and urbanization.
