Abstract

The distribution pattern is the distribution pattern (spatial layout) of species or individuals in a community. The distribution pattern is divided into three, namely: random (random), clumped (clumped or aggregated), and uniform (uniform). This research lasted for 2 months, starting in early April 2021 until the end of May 2021, which took place in the Forest Park, Ngata Baru Village, Sigi Biromaru District, Sigi Regency. The purpose of the study was to determine and calculate the distribution pattern of butterflies in Ngata Baru Village, Sigi Biromaru District, Sigi Regency. Data collection on the type and number of individuals of each butterfly species was carried out using the point count method, which is a method that determines the radius of the counting point as the basis for observing butterflies, and using the Morisita Distribution Index analysis which is used to determine the distribution pattern of the species. -type of butterfly. Based on the results of the study found 41 types of butterflies obtained three (3) distribution patterns, namely, clustered distribution pattern, random distribution pattern, and uniform distribution pattern, however. Dispersal patterns of several types of butterflies include: Amathusia phidippu, Appias libytheav, Athyma libnites, Caleta caleta, Catopyrops ancyra, Cepora timnatha filia, Cyrestis thynneus, Graphium agamemnon, Hebomia glaucippe, Lasippa neriphus, Leptosiscalidana, papilip, Prosotas nora nora, Symbrentha intricata, and Troides helena could not be counted because there was only one tail so that the Morisita Index (Id) was not detected (~).
