“…In general, biological explorations in this province are limited. Several studies on butterflies in Aceh have been carried out, for example, Banda Aceh (Alfida et al 2016), Aceh Jaya (Yusuf et al 2018), Aceh Besar (Akla et al 2018), and Subulussalam (Suwarno et al 2019), but no study dealing with butterflies has been done in Langsa Urban Forest (LUF). In this study, we investigate the diversity, host and food plants, distribution, also conservation of butterflies in LUF, an isolated urban forest on the eastern side of Aceh Province.…”

Langsa Urban Forest (LUF) is a 10-ha of the isolated urban forest in Langsa, Aceh, which is maintained to preserve urban biodiversity such as the butterfly. No recent study has been done in this area on butterfly biodiversity including the diversity and plant's potential for host and food plant sources. A one-month survey in July 2021 using the standard walk method on four transects was conducted. There are 36 species recorded during this study including 5 families, with Nymphalidae as the most abundant family and Leptosia nina as the most abundant species. Shannon-Wiener diversity index was used for this recent research with the value of H’ 1.78–2.78 and the Evenness index with scale 0.66–0.94. Most of the species have broad geographical ranges, with 3 of them restricted to the Indomalayan realm. There are 117 plants were recorded which 33 species supposed as host and food plants divided into 26 as host plants, 11 as food plants, and 4 for both. No specific plants threatened the collected butterflies, but it's important since providing diversity data.

“…Soraya Research Station is located in Sultan Daulat District, Subulussalam, Aceh, Indonesia. The area is included in one of the Leuser Ecosystem Areas which has a good environmental carrying capacity and very varied biodiversity, one of which is butterflies [1]. This area has a natural forest that is suitable for the habitat of organisms to adapt, especially fruit-feeding butterflies.…”

“…Many types of tropical fruit can be used as bait in cylindrical gauze traps such as bananas and pineapples. Several studies have used baits [1,4,11,12]. Reported as many as 40 species of fruit-feeding butterflies trapped using banana bait in the tropical forest area of Borneo, 31 species were caught at the understorey level, while 23 species were caught at the overstorey level (the canopy) [13].…”

Butterflies are insects that live cosmopolitan. Some butterflies in tropical forests look for food sources from sucking the juice of ripe fruits that have fallen on the forest floor. Fruit-feeding butterflies can adapt in finding food sources, selecting and sucking food effectively. Fruit contains varying concentrations of sugar and nitrogen. The existence of fruit-feeding butterflies in tropical rain forests is influenced by the availability and quality of food sources as well as other supporting factors such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The purpose of this study was to identify fruit-feeding butterflies and their preferences for banana and pineapple baits in the Soraya Research Station Area, Leuser Ecosystem, Aceh, Indonesia from September to November 2020. Six forest trail locations were selected as trap locations. A total of 360 cylindrical gauze baited traps (80 cm high and 35 cm diameter) were installed on six trails/line transects. Baited traps were set at three different heights, that is at the understorey level (± 0-2 m), midstorey level (± 5-6 m), and overstorey level (± 10-11 m) with a distance of ± 5-10 m. The distance between location points is ± 250 m. The fruit baits used in this trap were ripe bananas and pineapples. The results obtained were 37 species with 176 individuals trapped on banana bait and 50 species with 183 individuals on pineapple bait. However, the results of the t-test using the Man-Whitney test showed no significant difference between the banana and pineapple bait used.
