abstract
There is a scarcity of data and information regarding the study of butterflies in the Philippines, especially in the urban diversity. The aim of this study was to determine the species composition and abundance of butterflies and their host plants at CCP, Pasay City. Opportunistic sampling method was used to collect butterflies from the line transect of 1520 meters by 100 meters’ perpendicular to the line transect. The butterfly collection was done during sunny (dry) and rainy weather (wet). There were 11 species and subspecies of butterflies identified. The abundance of butterflies during dry season were much greater than during the wet season in Cultural Center of the Philippines, Pasay City, Metro Manila.
