Abstract
Four distinguished families of butterflies: Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae and Pieridae were considered for investigation of their activity budget in Delhi, during which, six activities such as feeding, flying, mating, patrolling, basking and mudpuddling were recorded at various time periods of the day. Flying was the major activity in the studied butterflies. Patrolling and mating occurred in afternoon hours only. The objective of the survey focused on the assessment of the distinguished characteristic activities with respect to circadian rhythm of the various butterfly species of different families which will no doubt help in understanding the manners of this Lepidopteran group in an urban city.
