In this report, the observation records and data of the individuals collected during the investigations will be presented.

Some butterflies that inhabit the areas where typhoons develop, in particular, fly in along with the passage of the typhoons every year, and produce new generations of their species there. Those species were also identified in the investigations. Fifty-one species of butterflies and six species of termites were observed, some of which were collected during the investigations.
