“…After being rinsed with distilled water, the genatilia was placed in glycerin and preserved for further analysis. With a total annual precipitation of 660 mm and an average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, the region is primarily rural and has an extensive range of agricultural areas Riyaz & Reshi, 2021;Shiekh & Mishra, 2023). The specimen and its genitalia have been deposited in the insect museum of Xavier Research Foundation, St. Xavier's College, Palayamkottai, India, with voucher numbers XRF-KMR-253 and XRF-KMR-GS-276.…”

“…The Sanctuary comes under the jurisdiction and forest division of District Shopian which lies in the southern escarpment of Kashmir Valley (Figure 2). The Sanctuary has a total area of 341.25 km2; with most of the landcover is under forest cover followed by pastures, wastelands and water bodies including alpine lakes (Riyaz & Reshi, 2021). The average temperature lies in between 20 º C to 25º C during summers and autumn, while the minimum temperatures lie between -15 º C to 10 º C during winter and early spring.…”

Butterfly fauna (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) in and around Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary, Shopian Kashmir, J&K UT, India Muzafar RIYAZ 1 ORCID: 0000-0001-9372-681X 1Division of Taxonomy & Biodiversity, Entomology Research Institute, Loyola College, Chennai, 600034, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) of Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary and its adjoining areas are presented. The sanctuary is situated at the foothills of Pir Panjal mountain range (Inner Himalayas) in the southern escarpment of Kashmir’s Shopian District. The study was carried out from April to October 2021. A total number of 25 species from five families were recorded. The highest number of species were recorded from the family Nymphalidae followed by the family Pieridae. Additional field surveys and explorations in the upper reaches of the sanctuary will add further species to the butterfly inventory of the region.

“…The area is very rich in both flora and fauna diversity. The area receives approximately 1800 mm of annual precipitation, and the average temperature ranges from 20 to 25 °C during the summer and autumn, while the minimum temperatures range between − 15 °C and Riyaz and Ignacimuthu Bulletin of the National Research Centre (2023) 47:143 10 °C during the winter and early spring (Riyaz and Reshi 2021). Random surveys were conducted in the study area from May 2021 to October 2021 to document the insect diversity of the region as the upper Himalayas of the Kashmir valley are yet to be fully explored.…”

Background In the present era of scientific and technological advancements, the use of smartphones among people has witnessed a large-scale progression. The camera serves as an important tool on smartphones, and the quality of the built-in camera varies with megapixels. The quality of photography and videography can be enhanced by employing macro lenses that can provide precise and high-quality photographs for the documentation and monitoring of macroorganisms, particularly insects. We used a smartphone-macro lens setup (SPMLS), comprising a Redmi Note 8 Pro and Skyvik Signi-20 mm lens, along with Snapseed for image processing. The SPMLS, costing USD 217, was employed in the Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary, Kashmir, during May to October 2021 for insect diversity documentation. The aim of this study is to introduce and demonstrate the utility of SPMLS as an affordable and portable photography solution for enhancing image quality in biodiversity documentation, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Results In this study, we report a device that uses a smartphone and macro lens (SPMLS), which is a portable and low-cost photography gear for researchers, photographers, citizen enthusiasts, and the general public who are not able to buy high-end and costly photography equipment for field-based biodiversity studies. The utilization of SPMLS has significantly augmented the image resolution and pixel density, thereby substantially enhancing the overall photographic quality, demonstrating its substantial scientific utility. Conclusions The SPMLS device presented in this study can be useful for researchers, scientists, students, citizen enthusiasts, and common people that are engaged in the biodiversity monitoring and conservation of animal and plant species across the globe. In addition, the post-photography part of this paper provides users with an outlook on image editing, processing, uploading, and marketing of photographs on different platforms.
