| Resumo: | Butterflies maintain a close relationship with plant species and can provide crucial insights into the environmental quality of their habitats, serving as valuable bioindicators. This study aims to investigate butterfly species occurring in the Atlantic Forest of Passo Fundo National Forest. Eight fragments were selected for active sampling to capture nectar-feeding butterflies, and among these, five fragments underwent both active and passive sampling to capture fruit-feeding butterflies. The combined effort involved 70 hours of active sampling and 84,750 hours of passive sampling, resulting in the identification of 169 butterfly species. Among these, 123 were nectar-feeding species, and 46 were fruit-feeding species. Nymphalidae emerged as the most diverse family, encompassing approximately 50% of the species. Notably, several prominent species were discovered, including Arcas ducalis (Westwood, 1852), which is indicative of preserved environments. The study also provides significant insights into species interactions and includes visual documentation of individual specimens. |
