- Abstract
The Butterfly diversity of All Saints' College campus, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, was documented for 1 year from June 2022 to May2023. The rich floral diversity and water bodies on the campus provided an excellent habitat for butterflies. Overall, 81 species belonging to five families were documented. Rarely spotted butterflies dominated in the abundance studies of diversity. The butterfly diversity density is high in the campus when compared with the diversity studies in other campuses. More number of butterflies is reported from Nymphalidae family. A comparison of butterfly diversity reported from different locations across the state signifies the importance of conserving habitats and flora for the insects.
