butterfly species diversity

Butterfly species diversity refers to the variety of different butterfly species found in the world or a specific area. It is influenced by factors like climate, plants, and ecosystems that support their life cycles. High diversity means many different species with unique colors, shapes, and behaviors, indicating healthy and balanced environments. This diversity is important because butterflies contribute to pollination and serve as indicators of ecological health. Conserving diverse butterfly populations helps maintain resilient ecosystems and supports overall biodiversity.
