Abstract
Butterflies form a key component in knowing about biodiversity and
ecological balance of any ecosystem because they serve as best bio-indicators.
They also play a major role in maintaining food chain as they are food to many
other animals. The present study mainly focuses on the diversity of butterfly
species found on the main campus of Gulbarga University in Kalaburagi, which is
situated in the semi-arid area of northern Karnataka. The research was
conducted for a period of 1 year through scientific butterfly surveys and
documentations. A total of 31 species belonging to 25 genera and 5 families
were documented in 6 study sites in the main campus.
