Abstract
A study to find the diversity and the community structure of Butterflies of Mount Korhogo area was carried out over a period of five months from August 2018 to December 2018. In each site, Butterflies were sampled along a transect with a length of 100 m. Butterflies were collected with a sweeping net. A total of 24 species belonging to three families including Pieridae, Nymphalidae and Papilionidae were recorded. Out of these, members of Pieridae were dominant with 12 species, followed by Nymphalidae (11 species) and Papilionidae (1 specie). The Site S1 recorded the most species richness with 18 Butterflies species. Concerning the abundance, a total of 386 individuals were collected. Family Pieridae recorded the most abundance. The site S4 with 111 individuals harvested was dominant among the study sites. Catopsilia florella was the most dominant specie. It followed by Acrea serena serena.
