Biodiversity loss is one of the world’s most pressing crisis and there is global concerned about the biological resource on which so much human life depends. Biodiversity conservation and management are worldwide concern (Ramesh et al., 2010), where determining the diversity levels of indicator groups of ecosystem should permit the prediction of other taxa to be present i.e., the importance and appropriateness of using invertebrate groups as indicator (Oliver and Beattie, 1993; Pearson, 1994). To focus on the conservation of biodiversity has recently received attention. River Narmada is flowing westward in central plateau region which covers 98,797 sq. km of total water- shed area. It is known as the life line of Madhya Pradesh as well as Gujarat In the basin of river Narmada industrial area are less developed as compared to other river basins. Narmada basin created an excellent habit and source of alteration for many faunal species like insects, reptiles, birds and mammals (Tiple et al., 2010). Both are good indicators of environmental changes as they are sensitive to habitat degradation and climate changes (Kunte, 2000). Butterflies play an important role in ecosystem where they interact with plants as it is one on the major source of pollination and also a herbivorous insect (Tiple et al., 2006). Odonata and Lepidoptera are easy-to-study group and are useful for monitor the overall biodiversity of aquatic as well as near-by terrestrial habitats and had been identified as good indicators as well as pollinator of environmental health (Corbet, 1999). With the exception of Antarctica,
