Perilaku Dan Musuh Alami Kupu Endemik Sulawesi Papilio blumei: Acuan dalam Konservasi
ABSTRACT: Papilio blumei
is an endemic
butterfly of Sulawesi
and especially in
Bantimurung Bulusaraung National
Park. This research was to
observed of the behaviour and natural
enemies of P. blumei in Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park. The
behaviour of the insect were mating, foraging, competiting, ovipositing and mud-puddling. Life table was used for analysis of
mortality factors, therefore
the number of
mortality was analyzed
by key-factors formulation.
The result indicated that mating
strategies is patrolling. Foraging activity of the sixth
instar was the highest
compared to the other instars and the lowest one activity of the prapupa
stadium of P. blumei. Nectar host plants for the imago of butterfly were Sarcosephalum
latifolius and Eugenia sp. There was Scudderia sp. as an interspesific
competitor for larval P. blumei. The intraspesific competitor
of the imago
stage was male
of P. blumei.
Female P. blumei
laid eggs on
abaxial leaf E.hupehensis and the
eggs hatched after six days. The larva of
P. blumei has a overheating behaviour and the adults has a mud puddling.
The natural enemies of P.blumei is Trichogramma sp., with k value = 0.381,
Pteromalus sp., with k value = 0.125 and Formica sp., with k value = 0.096.
