Spread And Environmental Impact To Presence Of Sulawesis Endemic Butterfly Graphium Androcles Boisduval Lepidoptera Papilionidae In Bantimurung-Bulusaraung National Park

Swallow Tail butterfly Graphium androcles Boisduval is the one of endemic butterfly from Bantimurung-Bulusaraung National Park South Sulawesi. Currently G. androcles very difficult to find in their natural habitat. The purpose of research is to study spread and environmental impact to presence of G. androcles. The research was conducted in April 2014 to March 2015 on two areas Bantimurung and Pattunuang. Our observation was used Cruise Methods and data analysis with descriptive methods. The result was showed total number of butterfly about 57 individuals divided into Bantimurung 12 individuals and Pattunuang 45 individuals. Based on Pearsons analysis temperature r 0.716 p0.009 and rainfall periods r0.676 p0.016 has strong correlation with presence of G. androcles. On the other hand no correlation with humidity r-0.888 p0.786 and light intensity r0.172 p0.593 in the presence of butterfly. We find more G. androcles in the beginning of dry season end of Juni until November 2014 on the river area and open field. Commonly the activity of butterfly was started 11.00 until 14.00 am. The range of temperature light intensity and humidity is 29 31oC 45 -1.735 and 55 70 respectively. Our conclusion is G. androcles activity as the behavioral response to adapted in their environment.
