Abstract: Butterflies are
insects that have a very important role in the ecosystem is as a helper in the
pollination in plants. In addition butterfly can also be used as a
bio-indicator to changes
in environmental quality
since butterflies are
very sensitive to changes in the ecosystem. The existence of
butterflies are under threat at this time step and extinction,
this is due to the
many forests are
converted into other
land. Diminishing forests and
lands turned into
settlement and agriculture.
Butterfly existence will depend
habitat. Butterfly habitat
with the amount
of food available is quite the diversity of butterflies is
high. The aim of research to determine the diversity of butterflies in
Batanghari River Plate in Metro City, the research method used is survey method
with purporsive sampling. Butterfly
collection done by
sweeping follows the
line transect technique
is applied randomly along
the 1000 m.
After completion of
the identification process
we then held classification process.
Species diversity index
(H) is calculated
using the Shannon-Wiener formula.
Results of the
study found as
many as 23
species of butterflies of 5
familia, with the most dominant species is Eurema alitha as much as 136. The
diversity of butterflies
in the Batanghari
River Plate in
City Metro categorized bit or
lower because it has the value H1 <1.
