Abstract

The diversity of lepidoptera in the two adjacent ecosystems, grassland and secondary forest, behind DLSU-STC campus was determined. Species diversity of lepidoptera in both habitats is generally low – H 1 =1.818 in grassland and H1 =1.850 in the secondary forest suggesting an uneven distribution of species in the area. Two families of Lepidoptera were observed to be dominating in the area; Pyralidae dominates the secondary forest due to the presence of fruit trees and Gracillariidae in the grassland due to the abundance of Napier grasses, with a relative density of 28.57% and 32.43%, respectively. The two habitats show 82.35% of taxa that are commonly shared within the area.
