Gurgaon: The first All-India survey of its kind to map the population of butterflies and diversity has recorded 60 different species of butterfly in Haryana found, especially, in six locations.
Among them, it is predictable, is Mangegari, Aravali Grove in Faridabad.
Aravali biodiversity park in Gurgaon is also one of the sites that are rich in butterflies.
The survey, carried out by the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) last September, recorded 1,196 butterflies in Haryana.
This finding was stated on Wednesday.
According to BNHS researchers, butterflies are the main biodiversity indicators because they are sensitive to environmental change, which is why this survey is very important.
Assam has the most recording species (315), followed by West Bengal (238), Kerala (208), Uttarakhand (198), Karnataka (176), Maharashtra (162), Arunachal Pradesh (138), Chhattisgarh (137) and Tamil Nadu (125).
Delhi recorded 80 species.
More than 550 species of butterflies with a total population of more than 38,000 seen throughout the country.
Gurgaon has two of six butterfly hotspots in the state – the other is the Leisure Valley Park.
Faridabad has two more than Mangar – Rose Garden and Mini Forest.
Others exist in the north, in Kaleshwar National Park in Yamunanagar.
The rare species found in Haryana is a common albatros and striped blue crows.
Plain Tiger, General Silverline, Lemon Sissy, Tawny Coster and General Lime is one of the most commonly visible.
“The study also indicates that habitat features affect the presence of butterflies and insects.
Wild and natural green spaces are conducive to butterfly diversity.
If there are many butterflies in an area, it shows that the land is free of chemical and illegal pollution.
Butterfly -Pupu has a direct relationship with plants – if more species are found in an area, it has more diversity in Flora, “said Sohil Madan, a BNHS member.
About 1,000 contributors participated in the survey and sent more than 20,000 images.
“Chocolate Pansy, General Mormon, Yellow Public Grass, Large Eggfly and Common Crow are the most common butterflies encountered,” Madan said, adding the purpose of the last month’s butterfly survey was to unite the community and bring a common community to preserve habitat for Butterflies, which are a vital component of the ecosystem, and build new habitats.
“Butterflies act as an ecosystem health indicator because they need a very specific environment to be developed.
They need moisture and optimal temperature.
If there are variations in one of these factors, adult butterflies will not appear from Pupa,” said Surya Prakash, an zoology that was previously with the University of Jawaharlal Nehru.
This year, Big Butterfly the moon will be observed throughout the country starting 4.
September.
BNHS will form a participating team to create a butterfly habitat.
“We will include Hisar, Gurgaon, FateHabad and Sonipat in this survey.
Our team will help people create habitats in society, condo and rwas.
We will also provide certificates to participants and prepare a habitat database so we can monitor the ecosystem by studying Butterflies, “said Madan.
Asked about the country’s initiative to save butterflies, the Forestry Department said the Butterfly Park had been developed in Sultanpur National Park.
“In the Butterfly Park, we plant certain plants that attract butterflies to breed.
We also told people about this plant species so they can be planted in housing society to increase the density of the butterfly population,” ML MALLIK said , Head of Forest Conservator (Wildlife), Haryana Selatan.
