Overview of the butterfly (Papilionoidea) fauna of Hrvatsko Zagorje, Croatia
Hrvatsko Zagorje is a region located in the north‐eastern part of Croatia just north from the capital Zagreb. Due to its vicinity to Zagreb, where many lepidopterists were working, a rather low number of historical records is very surprising. The first comprehensive butterfly survey started in 2008. Until today a total of 112 butterfly species have been recorded, with an additional six species known from the literature. This adds up to 118 species or 60% the Croatian butterfly fauna. The highest butterfly diversity was registered in the mountains Ivanščica and Strahinjščica, as well as in the significant landscape Zelenjak–Risvica and Cesar Hill. Several rare and endangered species were recorded in the region, i.e. Zerynthia polyxena, Parnassius mnemosyne, Phengaris arion, P. alcon, P. teleius, Polyommatus thersites, Lycaena dispar and Lopinga achine. Most of the butterflies in the region are grassland specialists, which are in rapid decline due to the abandonment or intensification of meadows, spreading of the invasive alien plant species, and urbanisation of wetland areas or changes in land use. To preserve the key species of butterflies in the area extensive maintenance of mainly dry and wet meadows and flowering forest edges is needed.
