“…The lowest percentage is in Orthetrum chrysis (0.0005%). In Sharma and Joshi (2007), the results of the Libellulidae family were the most dominant with the highest percentage of Odonata diversity studies while the Coenagrionidae family with the second-highest in composition. A value analysis of the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index data with a value of 1.007; these results indicate that the variation is moderate.…”

Bawaean Island is known for its endemic Bawa deer and other vertebrate species of mammals, avians and reptiles. However, little is known about the invertebrates, especially the Odonata (dragonflies) group. The aim of this study was to examine the variety of dragonflies on the Bawaean Island. The observation method was employed for data collection while the Shannon-Weinner Diversity Index was used for data analysis. A total of 23 dragonflies’ species consisting of four families were collected throughout the study. These include Coegnagrionidae (6 species), Libellulidae (13 species), Platycnemididae (2 species) and Aeshnidae (1 species). Ischnura senegalensis is the most dominant species. The diversity index (absolute H index) shows a moderate level of diversity in Bawean Island, with a value of 1,007.

“…Several studies reported that Libellulidae and Coenagrionidae are top predators in both aquatic and terrestrial food chain and these family are usually aggressively consuming almost all flying insects [17,18]. Another study on the diversity, distribution and species composition of odonates in buffer areas in India found that Libellulidae was the most highest number of species that made up 53% of the samplings followed by Coenagrionidae with 19% as the second largest representative [19].…”

In Malaysia, Odonates have been used widely in the assessment of water quality. This study is part of an effort to prepare a baseline data for the state of Johor, where development is happening at a fast rate which in turn could affect the water quality. Hutan Lipur Bukit Soga Perdana is a green lung for Batu Pahat which is considered as the second largest industrial town in Malaysia. Opportunistic sampling using sweep nets along 1 km line transect was conducted for a total of six days. Twenty-two species of Odonata belonging to 17 genera and seven families were recorded. Among the seven families, the most species-rich were Libellulidae (12 species) followed by Coenagrionidae and Platycnemididae (three species) while Gomphidae, Platystictidae, Devadattidae and Euphaeidae represented by single species. Drepanosticta fontinalis, a damselfly endemic to Peninsular Malaysia was collected. The abundance of the endemic Drepanosticta fontinalis was 10.3% from a total of 126 individuals. Tyriobapta torrida (15.9%) was found to be the most abundant species found followed by Prodasineura notostigma (12.7%) and Neurothemis fluctuans (11.9%). The data were further analysed by using Shannon-Wiener Species Diversity Index giving a value of 2.63 indicating a moderate diversity. Simpson's Evenness is 0.91 indicating a high evenness in the distribution of Odonates. Since the forest gains high public interest in Batu Pahat and Odonates are visible and useful insects, more studies could be done, and the data could be transferred to the public as a model for biodiversity and conservation.

The butterflies are beautiful creature of nature with great economic importance as pollinator as well as bio-indicator of environments. The present survey was conducted to determine the biology and distribution of butterfly fauna of Hazara University, Garden Campus, Mansehra, Pakistan during March-June 2012. The study area was divided into 3 quadrates, i.e., residential area, administration area and main campus. A total of 170 specimens were collected, 10 species were identified belonging to 3 different families and falling in 8 genera. The species were identified. The painted lady, Cynthia cardui (Linnaeus); blue pansy, Junonia orithya Linnaeus; and plain tiger, Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus) were belonging to family Nymphalidae. The lime butterfly, Papilio demoleus Linnaeus and common mormon, P. polytes Linnaeus were belonging to family Papilionidae. The dark clouded yellow, Colias croceus (Geoffroy); common grass yellow, Eumera hecab (Linnaeus); Murree green-veined white, Pieris ajaka Moore; greenveined white, P. napi (Linnaeus) and Bath white, Pontia daplidice (Linnaeus) were belonging to family Pieridae. The body sizes of E. hecabe and J. orithya were minimum, i.e., 1.4 cm (n = 4 -13), however, D. chrysippus was maximum, i.e., 2.5 cm (n = 1). The wingspan of E. hecabe was minimum, i.e., 3.7 cm (n = 4), however, P. polytes was maximum, i.e., 7.5 cm (n = 1). Proper preventive measures should be taken into consideration in order to minimize the natural habitat loss, as butterfly fauna is dependent upon proper environmental conditions.
