Abstract
The Chincholi Wildlife Sanctuary, which is the only dry land sanctuary
in the Kalyana Karnataka region, is well known for its abundant biodiversity
and especially for its thriving butterfly population. This is the first
scientific attempt to study the butterflies at the Sanctuary. This study
provides important insights into the intricate butterfly community thriving
inside the sanctuary's distinctive ecology through a combination of field
surveys, data gathering, and analysis. During the research period, 51 different
kinds of butterfly species belonging to 5 families were found.
Nymphalidae and Pieridae, two of the five families, topped the list with 20 and
15 species, respectively, and were followed by Lycaenidae (11 species),
Papilionidae (4 species), and Hesperidae (1).
