Abstract
The current studies aim to examine the lepidopteran diversity in Singoda lake, Visnagar, North Gujarat. Three main habitats (Tree Dominated Habitat Scrubs, Herbs dominated and Water Body and Edges) surveyed extensively.

The Pollard walk method used for sample collection with total of 32 visits and 40 transects, and sampling was done by random method. Total of 84 species of lepidoptera distributed in 14 family and 69 genera. The Month of July has maximum diversity (H=9.38) and species richness (d=3.36) was observed. The recorded lepidopteran diversity in study area suggest that Singoda lake is very important for a nursing ground to larvae and food for the adults.
