Abstract
Well-known for their ecological role as pollinators, butterfl ies are universally admired as possibly the most beautiful of insects. In addition, butterfl ies are indicators of habitat types, on account of their host plant-dependency. Despite its relatively small size, Bako National Park is home to seven distinct types of forests: beach forest, heath forest, open shrubland, mangrove forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, cliff vegetation and riverine forest- each with its distinct butterfl y community. Observations of butterfl ies took place mostly in the vicinity of the Park Headquarters, where representatives of several forest types can be accessed. Both active and passive methods were used, such as aerial nets and traps baited with ripe pineapples. Sampling took place for seven and six consecutive days, respectively, in August (dry season) and November (beginning of wet season) 2005.
