Morphology Characterization of Rhopalocera in Two Areas of Resort Bukit Tiga Puluh National Park Riau Province

Abstract

Bukit Tiga Puluh National park (TNBT) of Riau Province is a nature conservation area with a high diversity of fauna, one of which is the butterfly. Butterfly species diversity is influenced by the vegetation in their habitat. The TNBT utilization zone has a habitat type with varied vegetation. There is no information about the species of butterflies in the area. This study aimed to identify morphological character of butterflies and vegetation based on morphological characters. The method used was exploration. The catching area of the butterfly was the Granite waterfall and the Bukit Lancang path of TNBT utilization zone. Samples made as insectarium and herbarium. The identification of butterfly characters consisted of the head, thorax, abdomen, legs and wings. There were a number of different types of butterflies and plants between the Granite waterfall area (22 and 28 species) and the Bukit Lancang paths (5 and 9 species). The type of butterfly was dominated by the family Nymphalidae. This is due to the amount of vegetation and environmental conditions that are more favorable in the granite waterfall area. The key determinants of butterfly species are the characters of the wing. The results of this study can contribute to maintaining the TNBT butterflies in Riau Province and also as database information of butterflies species in Indonesia.

Diversity of Butterflies (Ordo Lepidoptera) and Flower Plants in Mount Muria Kudus, Central Java

“…Butterflies cannot adapt to environments with humidity of more than 92% (Febrita et al, 2014). Environmental conditions with high humidity may cause slow growth and development of butterflies (Chahyadi et al, 2020). Butterflies will be more active in environmental conditions with high temperatures because that is when their metabolism will increase.…”

Keanekaragaman Jenis Kupu-Kupu (Rhopalocera: Papilionoidea dan Hesperioidea) di Kawasan Cagar Alam Gunung Sigogor Kecamatan Ngebel, Kabupaten Ponorogo

“…Menurut Ilhamdi et al (2018) jika kelembaban lingkungan melebihi 95% maka kupu-kupu akan sangat sulit dijumpai pada suatu lokasi. Pernyataan tersebut juga diperkuat oleh (Ashari et al, 2019& Chahyadi et al, 2020 tinggi rendahnya suhu dan kelembaban lingkungan serta intensitas cahaya dapat memengaruhi aktivitas hidup kupu-kupu. Berikut merupakan tabel faktor lingkungan pada kawasan Cagar Alam Gunung Sigogor: Morfologi Ypthima baldus memiliki sayap atas berwarna coklat muda kekusaman, terdapat cincin ocellus besar sebanyak 3 pasang pada sayap belakang bagian bawah (Akram & Saghir, 2019).…”
