Abstract
The current studies intend to study the
Odonata diversity in Singoda lake, Visnagar, North Gujarat. Three main habitats
(Tree Dominated Habitat Scrubs, Herbs dominated and Water Body and Edges)
surveyed extensively. The survey was done in morning (07:00 to 10:00 hrs.) and
evening (17:00 to 19:00 hrs.) time, employed 8 visits in a month (2 visit/Week)
from June to September 2020. The Visual Encounter Survey method used for sample
collection with total of 32 visits and 40 transects (10m x 100m), and sampling
was done by random method. Total of 28 species of lepidoptera distributed in 05
family and 20 genera. The Month of July has maximum diversity (H=2.63) and
species richness (d=4.31) was observed. The recorded Odonata diversity in study
area suggest that Singoda lake is very important for a nursing ground to larvae
and food for the adults to grow.
