Field surveys were carried out to assess the butterfly species diversity in different seasons in Joggers Park, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India in 2021 using the line transect method with the aid of digital cameras and binoculars. Joggers Park is rich in floral diversity and therefore, good habitat for butterflies. Altogether, 38 species of butterflies were recorded which belonged to 27 genera and 6 families. Out of the total 38 butterfly species, 58% were common, 29% rare and 13% were the most common species respectively. Nymphalidae was the most dominant (maximum number of 7 genera and 11 species) among the six families. Maximum species richness was reported during summer (April, May and June) and minimum in the rainy season (July, August and September). The present study might be useful in creating awareness among common masses and encouraging the conservation of a wide array of indigenous species of butterfly in the study area.Keywords

The present study was done to account for the status and diversity of ornithofauna of Joggers Park, Lucknow, U.P., India. The field explorations were carried out from September 2021 to August 2022. During the period of study, a total of 62 species of ornithofauna were identified which belonged to 13 orders and 32 families. The order Passeriformes had a maximum number of bird count (34 species) belonging to 16 families. The least number of bird species was recorded in orders Strigiformes, Charadriiformes, Apodiformes, and Galliformes each containing 1 species. All the 62 avian species reported in Joggers Park come under the least concerned category of IUCN. Out of the total species, 49 species were resident and 13 Residents were Migratory (RM).Keywords
