Abstract

Balak Island is located in Pedada Bay, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia, which is very close to various leading marine tourism destinations in Lampung. This island has a sloping beach and white sand with a hilly land topography with a maximum height of 84 meters above sea level and partly flat, making it suitable as an ecotourism location, with one of the existing biodiversity being butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea). The aim of this research is to inventory the diversity of butterflies on Balak Island to be developed into ecotourism and conservation. Butterfly observations were carried out using the exploration method combined with the Visual Encounter Survey (VES). This observation used a camera for documentation and the observation time started from 08.00 WIB - 11.00 WIB and 14.00 WIB - 17.00 WIB or during the active butterfly hours so that it was possible to find various types of butterflies. There are 3 Families, including 4 types of Papilionidae, 5 types of Nymphalidae, and 3 types of Pieridae. Of the 12 types of butterflies found, one of them is a protected butterfly, namely Troides helena.
