Abstract

Butterflies are considered as bio indicator of the environment..Our native butterflies are disappearing fast due to habitat destruction for different activities in urban environment and unscientific management of natural resources, in a word their survival is under threat. Availability of host plants, food plants and pure air, are some of the requisites for their survival. The lock down has shown a very positive effect of on environment for flora and fauna. The present study reveals the direct relation of abundance of butterfly with vegetation composition and the impact of human restrainment on backyard diversity of Lycaenidaebutterfly.In 2020 during the complete lockdown and non irrigated backyard maximum 17 species under 15 genera were recorded from family Lyceinidae..
